Please, do not grant planning permission for this project. People do not 'need' another theme park, especially when its creation will cause yet more destruction of precious wildlife habitat that we can ill afford to lose. This area has become a haven for SO many insects and countless other species that cannot be relocated, as well as a breeding ground for 15 red-listed birds. It is more valuable as a refuge for wildlife than any theme park could ever be - and a place that Londoners could be proud to declare a 'left alone place' in a world that just keeps on taking. The wild animals and plants currently living at Swanscombe are so much more precious that a few fleeting hours of enjoyment humans might take home from some glizzy Theme Park. I do not believe there is a single child who, if they understood how many wild lives would to be lost to facilitate this theme park, would choose for it to be built. This is a chance to make a real difference by saying "No". We are already in the middle of a 6th mass extinction. Please, don't accelerate it by granting planning permission for this park. Thank you for reading my representation. Brigit Strawbridge Howard
