The development of the London Resort will be a disaster for local biodiversity and on a national scale due to the significant invertebrate populations on Swanscombe peninsula. We are in a biodiversity crisis, invertebrates are in cataclysmic decline. Nobody needs another theme park, particularly in such a precarious location so vulnerable to severe weather. The Swanscombe peninsula would instead benefit from becoming a rewilding showpiece right on the door step of the capital, along the lines of oosvaardersplassen in the Netherlands. This application talks about trying to be an exemplar, but when you read the submission no part of the development goes above or beyond the current guidelines, disappointing and in some cases regressive.
