Hockley Parish Plan Group would like to register the following comments regarding the London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan, based on the views of Hockley residents as expressed in the Hockley Parish Plan.

'Any future development and expansion at Southend Airport and the surrounding area, in terms of flights, passengers, employment and businesses, must not create additional noise or air quality pollution in the Parish of Hockley, caused primarily by noisier / bigger aircraft, additional flights or new flightpaths. Any increase in traffic and transportation on the highways in the Hockley area, caused by the development and expansion, must be matched by improvements to both roads and related infrastructure.'

Regards

Tim Gleadall
