I object to the proposed developments due to the permanent and irreversible damage that will happen to the World Heritage Site, its archaeology and setting. The entire area is an area of extreme archaeological importance, not just the stone circle but the whole surrounding area including the Blick Mead mesolithic site and surrounding area, and I do not believe this should be destroyed. Even UNESCO's advisers say the scheme should not go ahead in its present form. In addition there are various rare bird species which would be disturbed if the plans go ahead, including the Stone Curlew and the Great Bustard.
I understand that there maybe needs to be some change to roads in the area but is there not an alternative option which does not damage the World Heritage Site? In the consultation it doesn't seem as though alternative options that would not damage the World Heritage Site in the consultation have really been considered.
Please, there must be an alternative way that does not damage the site.
