London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Preferred Options

This proposed development has been prepared by the Committee of the Shoebury Residents Association. Members of the Association were asked for their views at the annual general meeting of the association on Wednesday 13th May at St. Andrew's church hall, Shoebury.

The views of the Association are:
1. We welcome any development which will improve the employment prospects of Shoebury residents, especially the young people of Shoebury.
2. We welcome the prospect of some residents not needing to go to Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted when flying on business or pleasure.
3.We are concerned about the following:

Noise nuisance to residents. We understand the night "no fly" period is 23.00 to 6.30 (Sunday 23.00 to 7.00). Residents are concerned that they will suffer from sleep disturbance by these arrangements. There are to be freight flights also. No limit seems to have been set for these flights, some of which would be allowed to take off and land during the "no fly" period. A freight flight makes at least as much (and often more) noise than a passenger flight so would be equally or more undesirable in the "no fly" period. If they are to be allowed at all over night, they must be given a specified small maximum number - say 2 per night to allow for existing mail flights.

Road congestion. Residents are very concerned about road access to Shoebury and this access is likely to be made worse by the increased traffic associated with the proposed airport development. We note that a direct road from the airport to the A127 is proposed. Our fear is that will not take any load from the A127. Whilst some users and workers at the airport will use rail or bus, the airport will generate roughly 2,000 additional car journeys a day on and off the A127. Also the freight will travel 100% by lorry, much of it using the A127.

Assumptions about the use of cycles. We suggest that cycle paths will be of very little value in taking vehicular traffic off the roads as it is most unlikely that passengers and most airport workers will go to the airport by cycle.

The Association supports the proposals in principle. We wish to see Southend-on-Sea prosper and believe that the development of the airport asset could assist this process.
We have listed our residents concerns.
We suggest the noise nuisance can be reduced, but are not satisfied that the road infrastructure will be adequate to support the proposed development.
