Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 3788

Received: 16/12/2008

Respondent: Renaissance Southend

Representation Summary:

Renaissance Southend (RSL) welcomes the recognition in the Core Strategy (CS) of the importance of London Southend Airport (LSA) as a key economic driver locally and in the wider sub-region. However, the CS should give clearer guidance on the purpose and objectives for the Joint Area Action Plan (JAAP). In particular, the CS should identify the requirement to ensure sufficient land is allocated to meet the creation of 3000 new jobs, over and above those from growth in airside activity, as identified in the Southend Regeneration Framework 2007, based on work carried out on behalf of RSL.
