The plans will undoubtedly cause damage to the world heritage site. The Blicksmead disaster is proof of this.As well as spoiling the iconic view of Stonehenge that is our children’s inheritance it allows for negative changes to access to the WHS that I consider are ancient rights.Having been allied to the difficult and long running task of reestablishing the Great Bustard to its Salisbury Plain heartland this is just another setback for them and the wonderful Stone curlew populations as well as other sensitive flora and fauna.I do not feel due consideration has been given to other more appropriate alternatives. Financial factors have held sway from the outset.You cannot put a price on irreplaceable heritage. Too many parties with vested financial interests have been allowed to set the agenda.How much more undiscovered archaeology will be lost forever? Why have the critics been so sidelined? Thank you.
