Flights should be restricted between 7.00am and 10.00pm and the number of flights per day capped at a reasonable level. Decibel limits should be clearly stated for aircraft both one the ground and after take-off and be part of the operating licences granted to prospective airlines.

The routing of aircraft "mainly over the sea" is not practicable as whatever route is taken the aircraft have to fly over thousands of houses shops and factories before reaching the sea.

The proposed flights are no different than they were in the 1960s when aircraft were noiser and more ineffecient. I fully support the airport expansion programme.

This is great news, especially in the current climate. If you live near an airport, expect noise and planes overhead. If you don't like it, don't live near. I remember when Southend had daily schedule flights and was saddened when it was taken off routing, in favour of London City. I have always lived near airports including Stansted and have never been bothered by the noise.

Where precisely are your plans for routing this increased level of activity? Is it all on one flight path, and if so , where is it and how many people will be affected ?

Expansion of terminal facilities is essential to creating a competitive airport that will be of real value to South East Essex. Caution should be given to making the conditions more restrictive as this will deter potential airlines from using London Southend Airport. The benefit of 2mppa outweighs the potential downsides to the local environment provided the conditions remain as is.

Major expansion of the airport was opposed by the majority of respondents to the first consultation. Why was this announced as the preferred option. An abuse of a democratic process instituted by the Local Authorities themselves and promptly ignored when the wrong result was obtained. Just 1 million extra scheduled passengers means 3000 people each day milling about trying to get in and out of an already congested Southend. That is without any weighting for the holiday months and half of the stated ambition for 2 million. Do the sums yourselves.

There is no evidence as to the increase in carbon emission consequent to an increase to 2 mppa, nor the number of people affected by increased flight noise. The development is proposed without an understanding of its impact on the community and so cannot be supported.

The locality CANNOT sustain expansion of the airport. Siting a fully functional airport with passenger numbers exceeding 1M (to start)requiring flights to be every 15minutes plus the introduction, by a 'cargo/freight company', of unrestricted night flights will have a devastating impact on the locality. Actions quoted will NOT have the desired effect stated. It amounts to huge numbers of flight movement & ground nuisance of various craft encroaching into the lives of the inhabitants of the area. I predict that if (or should I say when, as I believe it's a done deal) this is the tip of the iceberg.

Flights should not be allowed at all on a Sunday. The local roads are congested already, they will never cope with the extra passenger traffic. This area is densely populated and cannot absorb such a big project.

STRONGLY OBJECT TO ALL EXPANSION. Do minimum or preferably no expansion.The increase in aircraft noise for us residents will become intolerable, emissions will increase. The road system cannot cope with current traffic levels. If 2m passenger movements are reached this will require about 4000 extra car journeys per day!!! Imagine the road upgrading work for the next few years that would be required. This area has a high percentage of elderly people who hardly fly. Who will the expansion benefit, people flying from outside the region and the business people and major shareholders who will make millions of pounds.

The present document (Preferred Options) makes no mention of cultural heritage/historic environment issues and its potential impacts.
LONDON SOUTHEND AIRPORT & ENVIRONS JAAP DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT: PREFERRED OPTIONS
As with the recommendations made in 2008 for the Issues and Options consultation, the present document (Preferred Options) makes no mention of cultural heritage/historic environment issues and impacts and this should be addressed. The Rochford Historic Environment Characteristion (HEC) document commissioned by Rochford District Council provides an overall assessment of the District's historic environment including the study area for the JAAP Development plan and its relevance should be highlighted at this stage.
The HEC document was produced in order to provide planners with an overview of the historic environment for the LDF process and to be used at an early stage for identifying the possible choice of development sites, impact of potential development and the need for informed conservation, enhancement and mitigation. Within the Rochford HEC the relevant Historic Environment Character Zones (HECZ) are 17,18 and 22. The scoring table provided in the report and GIS project for each zone provides an assessment of seven specific criteria, diversity, survival, documentation, potential, group value association, sensitivity to change and amenity value.
The area outlined within the document is one which although partially disturbed through construction of the airport, golf course, quarrying and modern industrial buildings retains a significant archaeological and more general historic environment potential. In addition to specific known sites such as the medieval church of St. Lawrence and All Saints and a post-medieval brickworks and associated housing along Cherry Orchard Way, there are further finds, particularly in the west of the site whch indicate prehistoric activity, evidence of which is likely to survive. The airfield was established by the RFC during WWI and was later requisitioned to become RAF Rochford, part of Fighter Command during WWII. The airfield was heavily defended and the study area contains a large number of extant features relating to the security of the airfield.
It is important that the cultural heritage potential of the study area is taken into account at this early stage in order to ensure that opportunities for pro-active management and enhancement of the historic environment are considered at all stages of the development plan.
None of the comments given as response to the questions in our document dated 23/06/08 have been addressed in the Preferred Options consultation. The Cultural Heritage is a major omission in this document, with the proposals for the future of the most obvious Historic Environment assets, such as the Grade I Church of St Lawrence and All Saints, not addressed.

The panned expansion is not about creating a few new jobs or developing the area. It is about hard cash. The airport is owned by Stobart. The bottom line is more freight into the airport 24hrs a day then clog our streets with Stobart lorries. This is good for Stobart shareholders (who i bet are not local) but not for all of the home owners surounding the airport. Watch the value of your homes plummet and your quality of life decline.
This world is going mad. Stop being greedy and enjoy what you have - while you still have it.
