Swanscombe or Broadness peninsula is landscape of international historical importance. The inventions and developments of cement and paper on this piece of ground are of everyday importance even in the modern world. The whole area is a flood plane and is the last open space in this area of NW Kent. The proposals are to build the "London" resort are completely out of keeping with the landscape and will use up yet another flood plane. We are against the whole proposal in its entirety. We object to he destruction of open landscape. We oppose all the transport infrastructure that would be needed to make this idea work. We are delighted that he area has just been designated an SSI We wish for the area to be left undeveloped with improvements to rights of way for the public. We would want to see extensive archaeology surveys undertaken here.
