London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper

Representation ID: 2235

Received: 08/08/2008

Respondent: George Crozer

Representation Summary:

of the options presented this is the only one that FoNKM might possibly support
However we wish to qualify this by stating that we are not obliged to cater for the predicted demand for air travel. The sector makes a disproportionate contribution to climate change and should be included in targets for cutting emissions There should not be an assumption that there is a requirement to develop the airport
Options 1, 11 and 111 will undoubtedly act as drivers for increased CO2 emissions at a time when national, regional and local government should act to prevent damaging climate change.
