I strongly feel that the proposals relating to the above scheme are wholly inappropriate for the landscape through which the road will be cutting. Whilst the scheme threatens to irreparably damage the area around Stonehenge itself it also threatens the wider landscape, all of which has unique and invaluable historic significance. Despite the likelihood of archaeological mitigation works, the significance of the area demands more that preservation by record only and will still facilitate the destruction of important archaeological features and deposits. The proposals require a complete overhaul with greater scrutiny and consultation on the impact to both the heritage and natural assets of this landscape. The fact that this feeling is also echoed by UNESCO should also prompt a rethink of the proposals.
