London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

I believe this consultation is seriously flawed. For a project as far-reaching as this, the council should surely complete and test a Strategic Environmental Impacts Assessment before it concludes the (so-called) consultation phase. How can residents and organisations understand the implications of the proposal without these data (and no wonder that most do not!).
The JAAP literature presents a completely one-eyed view of the plan with no recognition of the huge environmental downsides. The process may meet process guidleines but the council should be ashamed of its rail-roading approach.
