• Permanent damage to the World Heritage Site, its archaeology and setting. • UNESCO's advisers say the scheme should not go ahead in its present form. • Concerns about damage to Blick Mead Mesolithic site and its setting. • Lack of alternative options that would not damage the World Heritage Site in the consultation. • Loss of view from the road and need to pya to see the Stones. • Disturbance of rare bird species (Stone Curlew and Great Bustard). • increased noise from more and faster traffic. The scheme is unlikely to have wider benefits as any increase in highway capacity and speed will just move traffic jams further along the road. I believe the balance of benefit lies with retaining the existing road. It is too precious a site to endanger in ways that cannot be predicted.
