Respondent: Craig Cannell

Representation Summary:

1. To work alongside Southend-on-Sea Borough Council to prepare a new joint Area Action Plan, or masterplan, alongside each authority’s respective new Local Plan, that contains a consistent policy approach to managing the Airport’s long-term growth ambitions.

A local plan for an entire local area, for a significant period of time, should concentrate on the high level approach for that area; to try and fit in a specific area plan, in collaboration with other local authorities does neither plan any favours.
