Additional noise has got to be a major consideration which may be eased by the use of quieter planes.

So often plans are passed which offer environmental protections only to see these protections diluted in the implementation stages. We would wish to see precisely WHAT PROTECTIONS WERE OFFERED AND WHAT GUARANTEES EXISTED TO PROTECT THEM.

Clear reports on the increase in noise from aircraft and pollution levels need to be provided to all residents, especially those living by the airport and under flight paths. Will you publsih these widely and let those affected decide?

The full submission suggests corrections to the description of the environmental character and assets.
In the printed version of the document, this section contains two pictures of St Laurence Church but no description of it. Given the concerns that the community may have about the impact of the Airport on it, it should be described, so that assurances can be given that it will not be moved. An appropriate description could be taken from the listing.
In Figure 2.5 Cherry Orchard Lane should be labelled Cherry Orchard Way
In Figure 2.6 the Southern Maintenance and Support Area and the Existing Terminal Area are not designated as employment areas, whereas the Northern Maintenance Area is. The Airport boundary is shown on the key but not on the plan. Cherry Orchard Lane should be labelled Cherry Orchard Way

I am concerned that any increase in passenger numbers at Southend Airport will
increase air pollution beneath the flight path, affecting a number of local schools and
potentially damaging the health of hundreds of local children. The increased noise
pollution throughout an even wider area of the town will inevitably impact house prices and
in some cases the ability of people to sell their houses at all.

To say that appropriate mitigation measures may be required to minimise noise and vibration is quite inadequate when these are the principal factors affecting the whole area for miles around the airport. The JAAP report seems to be addressing the questions concerning the relatively small area defined by the airport boundaries to the almost total exclusion of the far more relevant area for miles around.

It should be noted that activites that increase CO2 emissions will increase the pace of climate change and, consequently, the risk of flooding. The UK Climate Impacts Programme has shown that an economic model that results in increasing greenhouse gas emissions will result in more extreme weather events. The NASA Goddard Space Studies Institute has warned that such a model could lead to sea level rise of up to 5 feet this century.
It is therefore irresponsible to encourage the expansion of an industry that will contribute to massive environmental and economic damage to the area.

There is an existing well used network of public rights of way. Pedestrian access is quite well connected but would benefit from a link between the former brickworks site and St Andrews Church to provide a green traffic free path for the Roach Valley Way promoted route. The existing equestrian access to the west and north of the study area is separated from that to the east by the road and rail networks. Further routes and road/rail crossing facilities are required to connect existing paths which would also providing sustainable links to Purdeys Industrial Estate.

We really should not be even considering building on the current Green Belt. The agricultural land around the airport is of a very high quality indeed(ask a farmer)& given the bleak outlook for producing crops over the next 10-20 years, we should not be burying high-yield agricultural land under concrete & tarmac - it just does not make sense in the long term.
