We are living in a time when our actions now determine the future of the planet. I strongly object to the proposal on the grounds that it entails destroying a very important site for wildlife, including many species which are already endangered. This area is unique in the mix of habitats and its loss would be a disaster. Any site which is recommended to be an SSSI is obviously the wrong place to build a theme park, and the proposal would be a major step in the opposite direction from the one in which we must travel. In the year when the UK is hosting the Cop26 summit, granting permission for an area like the Swanscombe Peninsula, which is so important for nature, to have a theme park built over it would be a national embarrassment.
