The registration of Swanscombe Marshes site as an SSSI must be viewed as a deciding factor in the giving of planning permission on this land. The development of the London Resort theme park cannot honestly be evaluated as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure. The Swanscombe Peninsula currently provides two critical benefits. 1. A publicly available free open space for local residents; which has been proved to be key in the preservation of mental health in the COVID lockdowns 2. A critical ecological oasis with some of the greatest levels of biodiversity in the country. It's destruction in order to create a theme park is neither in the interest of the local community, the environment or the country as a whole.
