London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Submission Document

Representation ID: 32646

Received: 24/04/2013

Respondent: Mr Stanley Rubins

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The plan is unsound and unwarranted because 2,000000 passengers is the target of the airport by 2020. This was stated on a news program by an airport representative within 48 hours of the official opening. Therefore, everything needed for this amount of people was submitted and passed by the Councils.

What is being proposed now is something that is not needed now. At no time was a figure suggested in excess of 2,000000 and therefore, no consideration for any changes to the current areas around the airport is needed. Any change would imply that the original plans submitted were not correct. Therefore, the whole airport process, in my opinion should be started again from the beginning.
