AIRPORT bosses have launched an appeal with the government after plans for a new hotel were rejected.
Southend Airport has lodged the appeal with the Secretary of State after Rochford Council blocked plans for a new 132 bedroom hotel. Rochford Council refused the plans due to concerns over increased traffic and additional on-street parking impacting safety and the flow of traffic. The six storey hotel would be built on a staff car park to the north of Eastwoodbury Crescent, close to Holiday Inn. A letter from Southend resident Carol Bonnett also raised concerns. It said: “As a resident living adjacent to the airport, I object to the hotel for the following reasons. Depriving the town’s smaller hotels and bed and breakfasts out of business, as the smaller businesses are struggling enough.

Proposal - a CGI of plans for a second hotel at Southend Airport AIRPORT bosses remain hopeful of building a second hotel on site despite plans being thrown out by Southend Council. Southend Airport has now lodged an appeal with the secretary of state in a bid to see a 132-bed hotel built. The proposal, to build the hotel on a staff car park to the north of Eastwoodbury Crescent and close to the existing Holiday Inn, was rejected in September due to concerns over parking. Councillors raised concerns that by reducing the number of existing parking spaces from 86 to 45 it would push more people to park on nearby streets.
