London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Action Plan Issues & Options Paper
Q5.1 Which is your preferred Scenario for the future of the Southend Airport area?
Representation ID: 1915
Received: 31/07/2008
Respondent: St Laurence & All Saints Eastwood
We, the officers of St Laurence Church, Eastwood, wish to register our broad support for the Joint Area Action Plan for Southend Airport. Despite past history between us our desire is very much for the Airport to thrive. We feel that, as this is a plan for the area until 2021, it would be sensible to plan for the High Growth scenario, only releasing areas as the need arises.
We recognise the potential for the Airport to become a major source of employment for the town, and that it's success will play an important role in Southend's regeneration. The plans, as proposed, appear to impact adversely on few local residents, and it is our understanding that the Airport are in discussion with those likely to be affected to mitigate the effect of the changes.
Our two major concerns for St Laurence are:
Firstly, to protect the integrity of the Church Building and Churchyard within the current curtilage - which these plans appear to do.
Secondly, to maintain full and unhindered access to them along Eastwoodbury Lane. This latter will need to be addressed carefully and it is a pity that there is not more information regarding the proposed route for the diverted Eastwoodbury Lane.
