Developers of a planned £2billion theme park in Kent have published an informal timetable for its construction with a 2016 start date anticipated. Full details of the scheme are expected to be unveiled in October to coincide with the first stage of the public consultation.

The development, which will be known as the London Paramount Entertainment Resort, is expected to transform a derelict stretch of land on the Swanscombe Peninsula in Kent creating a rival to Disneyland and featuring a water park, a theme park, sporting facilities, an entertainment street, a staff training academy and about 5,000 hotel rooms.
