London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

2 Assets, Opportunities and Constraints

Representation ID: 7442

Received: 08/04/2009

Respondent: Barratt Eastern Counties

Agent: Kember Loudon Williams Ltd

Representation Summary:

The strategy for providing a large proportion of Rochford's employment growth at the Airport appears unsustainable. The Airport is mainly accessed by car from Hawkwell, Rayleigh and Rochford with limited bus services along the B1013. It is not therefore considered a sustainable location for Rochford District wide employment growth. Retention of existing and new employment growth should be targetted at top tier settlements only.By targeting so much employment growth at the Airport there is a danger that the important open gap between the Airport/Southend and Rochford coalesces. The Vision should therefore be refined.

Respondent: Barratt Eastern Counties

Agent: Kember Loudon Williams Ltd

Representation Summary:

It is noted that the airport may be subject to a runway extension to increase its ability to manage mid range aircraft. This has the potential to enhance the economic prospects of the Airport but will have environmental implications. It is important that should the runway be extended that adequate controls are in place to ensure that housing growth planned for Rayleigh, Hawkwell and Rochford is not compromised.

Respondent: Barratt Eastern Counties

Agent: Kember Loudon Williams Ltd

Representation Summary:

Providing a large proportion of Rochford's employment growth at the Airport appears unsustainable. The Airport is mostly accessible only by car from Hawkwell, Rayleigh and Rochford with limited bus services. Consequently, new employment growth at the airport should be linked to Southend and the Airport only. A sustainable development strategy would necessitate retention of existing employment areas and new employment growth at top tier settlements only.By targeting the majority of employment growth at the Airport the important open gap between the Airport/ Southend and Rochford begins to coalesce. The Vision should therefore be refined.

Issue 4

Representation ID: 7451

Received: 08/04/2009

Respondent: Barratt Eastern Counties

Agent: Kember Loudon Williams Ltd

Representation Summary:

It is not considered that a surface access strategy can adequately overcome the inherent sustainability issues noted by Barratts Eastern Counties in these representations. The distance and separation of some of Rochford's "top tier" settlements to the Airport is of concern. It is highly feasible that sustainable transport initiatives can be adopted to secure an access strategy between the Airport and Southend. However Rochford District, which is rural in character, will find it difficult to deliver a sustainable transport strategy. As a consequence employment growth should be removed from the Airport and redistributed to Rochford, Hawkwell and Rayleigh.
