London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan Submission Document

KENT ELMS TENNIS CLUB - AIRPORT EXPANSION, AVIATION WAY INDUSTRIAL ESTATE - CONSULTATION SUBMISSION

26th March 2013

Thank you for the update re the Airport expansion and Kent Elms Tennis Club - I am pleased to say that, on the whole, it appears good news.

Page 19 on the attached revised LSA proposal plan states that ...
Area-iv - Aviation Way Industrial Estate this existing business park has been identified for change because its current use is inefficient as an employment area, it has a poor environment visually and it holds further potential that could be realised.
It is intended that the tennis courts at the northern end of the estate will remain in situ and do not form part of the JAAP area.

However, it does state that it 'intends' and that it will develop the land behind and to the side as a business park.
This includes additional access/egress via a new road and junction from Cherry Orchard Lane, Aviation way/Eastwoodbury Lane together with enhancing or providing new foot and cycle paths in our vicinity.

As such we believe, as a club and freeholders, that we need to register concerns, in the areas below, as to any anticipated or known, current or future, impact on the club based on the development of the sites and any associated infrastructure works/changes

* Timeframes
o anticipated start/finish
o pre/during/post requirements [Club and contractors]
o hours of work [contractors i.e. 24/7, 9-5, weekends etc.]

* Boundaries
o distance/height of nearest buildings
o distance of any new access road/entrance from club
o access for club boundary maintenance
o emergency services access/egress

* Disruptions
o facility supplies [Water/Sewage/Electric shutdown etc.]
o access/egress - Before, during and after [Members and Works staff/vehicles/equipment]

* Restrictions of KETC use
o Before, during and after works start
o Temporary relocation to similar and local facilities for members if courts unavailable

* Environmental Impact
o noise pollution
o natural light impact
o works/business traffic pollution
o increased carbon footprint
o surrounding greenery/landscaping - repair/replacement [if required]
o site clean-up

* Financial Implications
o rate changes [Land/Facilities]
o improvements or changes to clubs boundary areas, fencing and/or access routes [if required]
o any associated costs [met by whom?]
o club freehold and replacement valuation [decision method]

* Legal Requirements
o it is an intention not a given that we stay - Development needs and proposals can change over time [Compulsory purchase implications - if required]
o changes to club freehold deeds [if required]

* Communication Channels [Who, What, When, How]
o Information/consultation timeframes
o contact points
o methods of [electronic, verbal, written, public notice etc.]

If you have any additional questions or seek further clarification please feel free to ask
