The Peninsula's marshes and mudflats do indeed have a sense of place and remoteness. Significant built development of any kind (including for renewable energy) would ruin this. West of Allhallows, the views are magnificent. Canary Wharf and the City, and The Shard, are often visible, a striking contrast to the wide open green fields of the c.11km. of marsh there (east to west). Their ecological value is also high, over the entire south Thames marshes from Grain to Cliffe, and the north Medway saltings - as indicated by the SSSI, SPA and Ramsar designations, and various environmental grants.
