I oppose this development, as it will destroy a site which is rich in wildlife and one of the best in the UK. I visit Swanscombe Marshes, to be in a green space and to see its wildlife - it is home to many rare birds, mammals, insects (including the Distinguished jumping spider Attulus distinguendus, which is only found on one other site in the UK) and plants. This has recently been reflected in the site being designated as a SSSI by Natural England. The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world and sites like this need to be protected and not built on. A theme park will have a significant carbon footprint and should not be classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, as it is not an essential development.
