London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper

Representation ID: 975

Received: 09/07/2008

Respondent: Charlotte Williams

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed medium growth and high growth of Southend Airport. Living in the flight path we are already subjected to low flying large passenger aircraft coming into Southend Airport for (I assume) maintenance. These planes arrive arrive from 07:00 am and we have known aircraft to come into Southend as late as 23:30. I can only imagine that the huge proposed increase of up to 2 million passengers a year would make our lives unbearable, as well as living in the constant fear that an aircraft could quite easily come down over a densly populated area.
