Developers behind the proposed £2bn Paramount Park theme park have bought seven hectares of land in North Kent.

A former landfill site, known as Bamber Pit, and a sports ground on the Swanscombe Peninsula have been purchased by London Resort Company Holdings.

The theme park, proposed for 400 hectares of land near Dartford, is due to be the subject of an application for a Development Consent Order, the first project of its type to be a candidate for treatment as a nationally significant infrastructure project under the Planning Act 2008 regime.
