Representation ID: 7444

Received: 08/04/2009

Respondent: Barratt Eastern Counties

Agent: Kember Loudon Williams Ltd

Representation Summary:

It is noted that the airport may be subject to a runway extension to increase its ability to manage mid range aircraft. This has the potential to enhance the economic prospects of the Airport but will have environmental implications. It is important that should the runway be extended that adequate controls are in place to ensure that housing growth planned for Rayleigh, Hawkwell and Rochford is not compromised.
