Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The document undermines its own case by admitting that the local road network has limited capacity for improvement. The A127 (Prince Avenue) and B1013 (Manners Way, Southend Road and Hall Road) are part of the local road network. As the vast majority of passengers arrive and depart by private car or taxi congestion is bound to increase.
This will to be to the detriment of local residents and businesses. If the number of passengers grows to the number predicted it might well result in more jobs lost than gained.
Bullet point (i) is immediately revealed as wishful thinking by bullet point (ii) admitting constraints due to availability of land and property boundaries. Further how does encouraging flights to Edinburgh, Newquay and Amsterdam all destinations that can all be reached by rail promote the use of sustainable transport? The lack of logic displayed here renders it illogical and as a result unbalanced. It is a statutory requirement that a document of this type be balanced. As this document is not it is unlawful.
