One of the ways in which the G2 Airport Project would affect the population is through employment. The Airport is an important employment site in the East of England region and the G2 Airport Project is likely to generate a number of types of employment effects: • it would create increased employment at the Airport and in the wider economy during its construction; • it would create increased employment at the Airport and in the wider economy during its operation; and • it would affect employment in businesses which are located on the land required for the G2 Airport Project. 1.1.2 The purpose of this volume of the ES is to assess the likely significant employment effects of the G2 Airport Project. This volume will estimate the employment required during construction and operation of the G2 Airport Project and consider whether there will be sufficient labour available within the local economy to meet the needs of the Airport. The assessment will consider the ways in which employment opportunities at the Airport can be taken up by people in the local economy and will also consider displacement effects within the labour market. The volume will also consider the employment effects which the G2 Airport Project would have on businesses occupying premises on the land that would be taken by the G2 Airport Project. 1.1.3 The employment assessment is structured differently to the other ES volumes as a result of the specific requirements of this topic. There is no assessment of employment effects in 2015 as the G2 Airport Project would just be complete in 2015 and there would not have been sufficient time for significant operational employment to materialise. An assessment is therefore made of the operational employment effects in 2021 and 2030. Adopting 2021 as the first date for assessment is consistent with the end date of the East of England Regional Spatial Strategy2 (RSS) for the region. Analysis of the operational employment effects in 2030 allows an assessment to be made of the completed development. 1.1.4 This volume is structured around the different employment effects as follows: • section 2 sets out a review of the proposed development; • section 3 sets out the policy context for the G2 Airport Project; • section 4 summarises the Scoping Paper and provides feedback from the consultation meetings; • section 5 assesses the employment effects associated with the construction of the G2 Airport Project; • sections 6 - 11 assess the employment effects associated with the operation of the G2 Airport Development, including, at section 7, estimates of the employment that would be lost or displaced as a result of existing businesses located on the land required for the G2 Airport Project; and • a glossary of terms and abbreviations is given on page 85.

  • Chapter 7 Air Noise
    EXD/087 (2of4) TRANSFORMING LONDON STANSTED AIRPORT 35+ PLANNING APPLICATION Chapter 7 Air Noise 7 AIR NOISE Introduction 7.1 This chapter of the ES has been prepared by Cole Jarman Associates. It considers the impact of air noise associated with the proposed development. The assessment quantifies existing air noise levels (for the 2016 Baseline Year) and those projected to occur in the future, both with the proposed development (Development Case – DC) and without the proposed development (Do Minimum – DM) scenarios. The assessment focuses on the difference in air noise effects between these two scenarios in the Principal Assessment Year of 2028, but also considers intervening years in order to account for changes in air noise over time. 7.2 Air noise is that produced by aircraft during departure and arrival at the airport. It includes the noise generated: On departure: . from the point at which an aircraft commences its take-off roll; . proceeds along the runway to the point of leaving the ground; and . climbs into the air and departs the vicinity of the airport. On arrival: . from the point at which an aircraft approaches the vicinity of the airport; . descends to the runway; . touches down; . slows down along the runway to the point of departure onto a taxiway; and . includes reverse thrust, if that is required to slow the aircraft down on the runway. 7.3 The application is for minor airfield infrastructure works, as described in ES Chapter 3 (Description of Site, Proposed Development, Policy Context and Alternatives). Through increased airfield efficiency and stand capacity, these works would enable a higher passenger throughput to 43mppa.

  • Felsted Neighbourhood Plan
    FELSTED NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2033 Respecting our Heritage, Defining our Future Felsted Parish Council Referendum Version Felsted Neighbourhood Plan: Respecting our heritage, defining our future Felsted Neighbourhood Plan Foreword Welcome to the Felsted Neighbourhood Plan (the Plan). Work began on the Plan in July 2014 with the Parish Council’s support for the formation of a Steering Group (SG) and our first meeting. The Plan is based entirely on the many months of consultation, the hundreds of comments and submissions made by you, the members of the community, to the Steering Group through surveys, at meetings and presentations and on independent research commissioned by the Steering Group. The Plan also draws on the Felsted Parish Plan completed in 2012 including the historical context of the Parish, which remains unchanged. During the consultations, there has been a passionate desire to see our valued amenities, like a doctors’ surgery and dispensary, together with the village shop and Post Office, protected and improved. There have also been strong and well-articulated objections to still further housing development. However, simply saying ‘no’ to any housing development is not an option that was ever open to us or any community preparing a Neighbourhood Plan. In complying with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Uttlesford’s Local Plan, we were required to take a positive approach and to ‘contribute to the achievement of sustainable development’. The obligation on us as a Steering Group is to present a Neighbourhood Plan that provides for the development of no less housing than the UDC Local Plan allocates for Felsted.

SSE protest against airport expansion, outside the pub at Molehill Green. Illustration Peter Riding. Molehill Green, a hamlet which is part of the parish of Takeley, bordering on Broxted, was envisaged to almost completely disappear if the proposal to build a second runway for Stansted Airport had gone ahead. In preparation for this, landscape consultants carried out a remarkably thorough analysis of the area through fieldwork, trial trenching, landscape analysis, documentary research and building survey. This article is a summary of some of its findings on one of the 14 study areas, described in the report as ‘Historic Landscape Units: Mole Hill Green’, together with material from other sources. Hundreds of trial trenches were dug across the G2 area to look at archaeological deposits, and ‘predictive modelling’ was used to assess other areas. Among many other findings, they discovered early settlement evidence to the south of Molehill Green: a Late Iron Age or Early Romano-British site, showing that people were exploiting the ‘Molehill Green Landscape History’ – Saffron Walden Historical Journal No 17 (2009) wooded plateau 2,000 years ago.
