I am delighted that the wildlife site at Swancombe has been designated as a SSSI thus acknowledging the unique value of this very special wildlife site. How fortunate we are to have it and personally, with family living close by, I feel a strong bond to this site. I believe it must be protected for the Nation and for future generations. We know how important it is that we protect our fragile planet and in particular the many species that are endemic to this area. Just listen to the warnings of David Attenborough about the perils our planet is facing so it is important that we all do what we can to heal it. It is unthinkable that an area that we are so lucky to have has to defend itself from the onslaught and disastrous plans of a theme park which the developers claim will attract thousands of visitors. I cannot think of two projects less likely to blend together. It would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous. I am also of the view that it will not be as attractive as the builders claim. Post Covid people will review their leisure activities and many will not be prepared to engage with crowds so it is possible it will be a white elephant despite the damage it may have caused. Please reject this planning application and show your support for protecting our natural world and the only planet we currently have.
