I only discovered the area of Swanscombe Marshes, between Greenhithe and Botany Marsh recently, during the Covid pandemic. As an amateur photographer I've found it an amazing area to explore with a unique blend of habitat and wildlife, including many rare and endangered species of birds, plants and insects. As well as the Photography aspect, being able to access a peaceful area and getting close to nature is good for my mental wellbeing and general happiness. To take this away in area which is already surrounded by concrete would be a shame, both for the Flora and Fauna which inhabitat the area, as well as the visitors who seek an escape from the hustle and bustle all around. This is not an industrial site by any stretch of the imagination and in times of better environmental awareness it would be unbelievable to read havoc with Balldozers upon important plants, reptiles, habitat, birds etc. Thank you for hearing me out.
