Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 3357

Received: 01/12/2008

Respondent: Mr Nigel Stockwell

Representation Summary:

I agree that the correct strategy is to maximise the overall employment opportunities that a revitalised airport will bring to the area.
Many of these jobs will be not directly related to the airport and the availability of a business/commercial park adjacent to the airport will enhance the attractiveness of the area to new employers.
The success of this additional development will, however, rely heavily on London Southend Airport being developed to its full potential and acting as a catalyst to further employment opportunities. It is vital therefore that the planned runway extension forms part of the final JAAP proposal.
