I grew up around Swanscombe Peninsula and I know that it is a very special area - but even I didn't realise quite how special. I cannot think of a worse location for a theme park, the loss of precious habitat and biodiversity for the sake of what? It is unjustifiable in a climate where we know the value of nature and the price of wanton destruction. A theme park on an SSI - especially when there are many areas of brownfield land locally that isn't sensitive that could be requisitioned to build it, the RSPB and other conservation organisations have already made the case for Swanscombe Peninsula's importance, it would be utterly pig headed and environmentally tone deaf to destroy it for a theme park (or any development) - what kind of legacy is that for future generations?
