In this time of vast biodiversity loss it is highly important that places like Swanscombe Marshes are protected from any form of development. Swanscombe is a unique open mosaic of coastal habitats, grasslands, scrub and wetlands which are so important for wildlife that Natural England have recommended that it become a SSSI. The area has a large number of breeding birds many of which are red-listed. It is home to nationally rare and endangered bees, spiders, beetles, wasps as well as 13 nationally scarce vascular plants. Surely a theme resort could be built elsewhere. Humans are dependent on the natural world and destroying it for gain leads to many problems as we have found out in the last tweve months. Please think again and do not destroy this unique site.
