London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 6179
Received: 05/04/2009
Respondent: South East Essex Friends of the Earth
The "Report Summary of Responses to Consultation" for the first phase of consultation on the JAAP indicates that "Despite some support, the majority of respondents were opposed to Scenario 3." It is therefore utterly ridiculous for RDC and SBC to describe phase 2 as the "Preferred Options" while pursuing the least popular Scenario.
Aviation expansion is inherently unsustainable due to limited resources (i.e. Peak Oil) and pollution emitted by aircraft (e.g. causing Climate Change). Any Sustainability Appraisal that supports the expansion of Southend Airport must therefore be wrong.
