Swanscombe Marshes is a nationally important site for wildlife, it has been declared a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). These areas are declared Nationally important for a reason, they are becoming rarer and rarer due to over development. These sites have proved vital to all our mental health during the pandemic. Places such as Swanscombe Marshes have been one of the few things that have kept me sane during the lockdown, I personally couldn't have functioned with out places like this and I know I am not alone. If this development is allowed to go ahead then the area will be changed forever, it will never be the same again. There are derelict sites that will be much better suited for a development such as this. Please consider the negative impact a development such as this will have on such a sensitive area.
