London Southend Airport & Environs Joint Area Access Plan (JAAP)

5. Implementation and Delivery Plan

For each project the schedules set out in this chapter:

  • outline relevant JAAP policies;
  • provide site background information;
  • summarise the core infrastructure required to deliver the policies;
  • consider the risks to delivery;
  • identify mitigation measures;
  • suggest potential delivery mechanisms; and
  • propose suitable monitoring indicators.

Potential contamination, archaeology and environmental issues may lead to significant remediation costs affecting scheme viability and ability to pay onerous S106 contributions.

It is suggested an environmental and geo-technical assessment is carried out in due course to determine extent of any residual environmental works required alongside likely remediation costs. Cherry Orchard Homes & Villages plc has stated that should they progress with sale of the land from Hanson, they will cover the costs of any remediation required. Whilst they are willing to accept these environmental costs, any significant or unreasonable S106 costs on top of these may affect the overall scheme viability and there is a risk the developer may not proceed with the site.

High

High

Whilst developer contributions can help provide important benefits to the wider area, it is important to ensure the collective S106/CIL monies and commitments required are not so onerous as to render schemes unviable; particularly on complex brownfield sites which may be costly to remediate. Once all costs are known across the JAAP area a developer contribution assessment will be undertaken to determine reasonable developer contributions or each infrastructure theme whilst considering site-specific issues such as contamination, infrastructure and remediation, and that a pragmatic approach is taken to archaeology.

Low

Lack of demand for increased employment provision within the JAAP area. Although this is more likely to be a risk as subsequent phases come forward, it is a risk for the provision of any new floorspace that comes onto the market.

Evidence suggests that demand for new employment provision is likely to match supply as the Airport increases its capacity, although it is important that the demand for space is at a pricing level which will encourage and facilitate development.

Medium

High

It is suggested that SBC and RDC monitor employment demand through updates to their Monitoring Reports (see below for suggested indicator) and ensure that Employment Land reviews are updated when necessary. If it becomes apparent there is an oversupply of employment land, a decision may need to be made to stagger or reduce the amount of land that goes on the market at any one time. It will also be important to ensure a strong Marketing Strategy is prepared for Saxon Business Park and implemented.

Delivery Mechanism & Delivery Bodies

The brickworks site may be brought forward by a private developer. Currently Cherry Orchard Homes & Villages plc has an option on the land.

An effective S106 agreement will ensure infrastructure is delivered to the requirements of the JAAP, however it is yet to be determined whether the estate road will be provided by SBC or will be a requirement on the developer.

It is proposed a partnership-led steering group is tasked with preparing a masterplan in the short term along with a number of assessments to inform future direction, including potentially transport and flood-risk/ surface water to enable a strategic, site-wide masterplan for the entire Saxon Business Park. This will be supported by a design brief to ensure an appropriately high quality, sustainable scheme is brought forward along with guidance for developers outlining planning application and S106 requirements. Whilst the public sector i.e. SBC & RDC will lead this masterplan and assessment work, the buy-in and support of private sector interests and statutory undertakers will be vital.

Essex County Council and Southend-on-Sea Borough Council will work jointly to undertake further transport modelling and assessment work across the JAAP area.

SBC as owners of the land are likely (to be finally determined) to put in the necessary enabling works including the new road and then sell Area 3 off in a number of land parcels. IPECO currently have an interest in approximately 8ha (2/3rds) of the site. Other interests are expected to come forward once SBC market the site.

An effective S106 agreement will ensure infrastructure is delivered to the requirements of the JAAP.

Key JAAP Project 2: Nestuda Business Park

The site at Nestuda Way is situated in a prime location with good accessibility to the major road network. It lies on the corner of Prince Avenue (A127) and Nestuda Way and is currently open land which falls adjacent to the Airport runway public safety zone. This site is owned by Southend Borough Council and is identified to provide 10,000 sqm of B1 Office Use in Phase 2 and create 500 new jobs. The design of the building would need to accord with the height limitations set due to its proximity to the Airport Runway Public Safety Zone.

Lack of demand for new and increased employment provision within Aviation Way.

Although the employment area is already established, there are current vacant land plots and a number of units have yet to be taken up by the market. Whilst it is anticipated the market will improve in the medium to long term, Aviation Way may struggle to attract new tenants with higher profile business space provided in very close proximity at Saxon Business Park.

SBC and RDC will monitor employment demand through their Monitoring Reports (see below for suggested indicator) and regular updates to their Employment Land reviews. If it becomes apparent there is an oversupply of employment land, a decision may need to be made to stagger or reduce the amount of new land that goes on the market at any one time. It will also be important to ensure Aviation Way has its own Marketing Strategy to attract its target tenants/ investors. This could potentially be an early action of a Business Improvement District (see below).

As Aviation Way is an established employment area with only a limited number of sites likely to be redeveloped, S106 contributions may be limited creating funding difficulties for estate wide improvements and road/ junction upgrade. In turn, this may impact on the marketability of new employment provision.

High flood risk designation may prevent MRO Northern Extension coming forward in the short to medium term.

As an area of high flood risk, the MRO Northern Extension will be subject to sequential testing prior to any application approval. The Environment Agency as a statutory consultee may object and recommend refusal for any proposals within the MRO Northern Extension area whilst vacant sites exist within Aviation Way. This may reduce the likelihood of the Airport extending their MRO operations in the short term.

In turn, as the MRO extension area is likely to be the subject of the largest single planning application and S106 agreement, funds for extension and upgrade of Aviation Way estate road and the public open space to the west may be stalled until existing smaller sites are developed out within Aviation Way.

The Airport should engage early and effectively with the Environment Agency to ensure appropriate flood management solutions and compensatory floodplain storage is provided as part of any future planning application(s). RDC and SBC should support the Airport through this process as required.

Delivery Mechanism & Delivery Bodies

A Business Improvement District (BID) could be established. BIDs are defined areas within which businesses pay an additional tax or fee in order to fund improvements within the set boundaries. BIDs are democratic bodies established through a formal ballot which must achieve a majority in terms of number of ratepayers and percentage of rateable value. Once voted in, BIDs work on the principle of an additional mandatory levy on all defined ratepayers, collected in the same way as the Business Rate. This provides a ring-fenced budget for exclusive use in the immediate environment. Further funds can be leveraged against this core funding for added value. The BID, working closely with SBC and RDC, could jointly prepare an Aviation Way Improvement Scheme which would outline all measures required to improve the area and maximise development potential within the estate. Once all costs have been defined, a fund could be set up to deliver the improvements over time.

Collation of S106 monies for upgrade where possible.

Potential to utilise maintenance fee from covenants.

Key JAAP Project 4: Airport Development

The JAAP sets out a policy framework to support the development of London Southend Airport to grow to a capacity of up to 2 million passengers per annum through an extension of the runway alongside the development of the new railway station, terminal and aircraft handling facilities. Whilst the airport expansion will be used primarily for passengers supporting a number of Fixed Based Operators, the JAAP also anticipates that the airport will see growth in its maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities (MRO) supporting the provision of a range of high skilled jobs in the area. There is therefore policy provision for both elements of airport development.
