The highly anticipated London Resort theme park, which will be located on the Swanscombe Peninsula in Dartford, Kent, has submitted their application for a Development Consent Order (DCO). The application was accepted for examination by the Planning Inspectorate. Volterra supported the application by providing several impact assessments relating to socio-economics and health. If approved, the theme park is expected to generate £50 billion for the UK economy in its first 25 years of operation, including the creation of over 17,000 direct jobs by 2038. The scale of a leisure project of this type is unprecedented in the UK, and the subsequent benefits are expected to be significant, both locally and nationally.
