I have known, visited and loved Stonehenge and the since childhood and the A303 always was an important route for my family and myself. The landscape, both ancient and modern, of Salisbury Plain and the unique impact of mankind over many millenia helped spark a lifelong interest in archaeology, which I read at University of Leicester following my retirement a dozen years ago. I believe the proposed tunnel portals will impact irreversibly and irrevocably on the immediate environs of Stonehenge destroying for all time a place which has no parallel in the world. We cannot know what else will be impacted in a wider area of Salisbury Plain. I object to the current proposal on the grounds that the civil engineering works associated with the portals to the A303 tunnel encroach on this sensitive area and should be resited at a considerable distance from any possible heritage sites, known or not yet investigated and undocumented.
