To build on an SSSI for a theme park is quite simply ridiculous. Given that the Distinguished Jumping Spider is only found on two sites in the UK, they should both be preserved and conserved. Anything other would be a failure of the state to undertaken its duty to protect a UK Biodiversity Action Plan priority species. Aside from this, there are plenty of other places (such as intensive farmland with little wildlife value) that could be used as alternative sites. It is not a good look during a "Green Recovery" to build over an SSSI for any development, let alone a collection of rollercoasters.
