Without a runway extension the target of 2 mppa is achievable.The railway and passenger facilities would also proceed. The advantages stated for the runway extension are quieter and fuel efficient planes,ease of attracting passenger plane operators,and a faster passenger growth path.
I am not convinced that these reasons are sufficient to support the option.I would prefer to see a slower introduction allowing time to present precise information on the environmental and residential impact, determine a realistic transport plan, and offering opportunity to assess the implications on a gradual scale for the Rochford District.
