• Irreparable damage to this unique, emblematic and vulnerable site, both the archaeology and setting, which is described by UNESCO as a ‘landscape without parallel’ • UNESCO likewise recommends against this highway plan • It would damage not only Stonehenge but a number of other important archaeological and heritage sites, including the Blick Mead Mesolithic site and its setting • Other options do not appear to have been considered • The vista surrounding the site, and it's visibility across the landscape would be ruined • The proposed highway would also disturb wildlife in the area, including rare and endangered species • The impact of increased traffic and noise on the area, could, over time, damage the site
