Background to the JAAP
Southend Borough Council and Rochford District Council are
preparing a Joint Area Action Plan to respond to the challenges and
opportunities offered by London Southend Airport, and proposed
employment cluster.
Area Action Plans are a new style of planning document targeted at
areas of significant change or conservation.
The JAAP will provide the basis for coordinating the actions of
a range of partners with an interest in the London Southend Airport
and environs and establish planning policies until 2021. It
will:
- Manage growth and change in the area by establishing
development and design principles
- Ensure the protection of areas and places sensitive to
change
- Direct investment and form the basis for regeneration in the
area
- Be deliverable
Rochford and Southend Borough Council produced an 'Issues and
Options' Report which sets out the initial analysis and possible
spatial plans for the development of the area in the period to
2021.
Following extensive consultation, a 'Preferred Options' version
of the plan was published in early 2009, which sets out the vision
for the future of the airport and the linked employment land and
provides details of the policy framework that will be required to
deliver the vision.
The feedback received from this consultation is being analysed
and will play an important role in the preparation of the final
version of the JAAP.
It is anticipated that the next ‘submission’ version of the JAAP
will be published in early 2010.
