London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Submission Document
Representation ID: 32397
Received: 21/04/2013
Respondent: Mrs Margaret Christian
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
This policy to expand the airport is unsound, unsustainable and irresponsible. The JAAP is the opposite of "evidence based policy". The last JAAP process showed that around 80% of respondents were against high growth in airport expansion, and also a local opinion poll last year showed that 61% of people opposed expansion,
Local councils have failed in their duty of care to the local population by encouraging increased flights and greater noise, and in addition allowing night flights.
The document is unsound based on false assumptions e.g. that 500 new jobs were created in the first year.
