I am very concerned about the damage that will be done to a WHS, both to the landscape and archaeology. The landscape is as important as the monument.
UNESCO’s international advisers recommend that the scheme is not carried forward in the suggested method. I am not happy that there appear to be no less damaging alternatives under consideration.
Lack of alternative options in consultation that would not damage the World Heritage Site I object to the site becoming hidden from the road, something I loved as a child. It is difficult enough to visit on the spur of the moment now, it may become harder in future. The Stone Curlew and Great Bustard habitats will be disturbed if not damaged.
The amount of traffic is likely to be increased, leading to more pollution and noise.
The recent unauthorised drilling did not inspire confidence.
