London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

Respondent: Mr Robert Davenport
I think the sustainability of this proposed development is flawed. In the current climate this is extremely sad that authorities are so weak and pander to activities that do nothing to really improve the overall environment. We really need to change our behavior and move away from the heavier carbon emitting industries such as aviation. Putting more land under concrete and tarmac is also very irresponsible. there are thousand of reasons not to do so from flooding (storm surge) and more destruction of natural environment. You'd be better off planting trees on it, everyone benefits from them.
