This scheme sounds appallingly insensitive. It is especially shocking since this site is probably the most famous WHS in the world, described by UNESCO as a 'landscape without parallel'. Indeed, UNESCO has advised against the scheme.

It appears that the work will create irreversible archeological damage to the site, and could risk the safety and survival of some rare bird species such as the great bustard and the stone curlew. Nowadays, especially, such things have to be taken seriously.

My own personal sorrow is that I would no longer be able to see Stonehenge from the road - such a glorious and amazing sight as one goes past, always looked forward to. (It will be many people's ONLY glimpse of it....). PLEASE reconsider.....
