Swanscombe peninsula needs to left in its rewilded state, without development. The peninsula is the last bastion for some unique species, a haven for wildlife, a significant area for breeding birds, including cuckoo, marsh harrier and many other wading birds and water fowl. It is a carbon sink for the area, a much used green space to escape the noise and pollution of the highly developed surroundings. Development would fracture the ecosystem from top to bottom and reduce the biodiversity of North Kent significantly. I ask that the area, now with its SSSI status, should never be considered for any sort of development and its uniqueness be left as such for future generations and for the sake of its fauna and flora.
