UNESCO’s international advisers say the scheme should not go ahead in its present form because it may cause irreparable damage to the World Heritage Site, its archaeology and setting, described by UNESCO as a ‘landscape without parallel’.
I am concerned that there could be damage to Blick Mead Mesolithic site and its setting.
I am appalled that there has been no consultation on alternative options that would not damage the World Heritage Site.
The proposed scheme results in a loss of the view from the road and could result in the need to pay to see the Stones in future.
The proposed scheme will cause disturbance of rare bird species (Stone Curlew and Great Bustard).
There will be increased noise from faster traffic and an increase in traffic which is detrimental to our need to address rapidly and very determinedly our effect on climate change.
