Disruption of the water table, ancient chalk stream which will lead to permanent and irretrievable damage of ancient artifacts and loss of future undiscovered artifacts which are connected to the landscape and monument (blick mead, vespasian camp and the monuments grounds.) future disruption potential to the landscape and surrounding meadows, and biology. Subsequent impact and damage due the loss of prestige and protection of the monuments status globally. Unnecessary proposed permanent closure of ancient rights of way some extending beyond and outwith the monuments protected boundary. No grounded basis to remove any of the passages furthest away depriving those with poor mobility including the disabled of the experience and views and tumuli. Loss of sight of the ancient stones which were given to the public, further, restriction of access for less abled bodied (excluding the charged admission and subsequent manipulation onto coaches.) Increased noise pollution and emissions pollution affecting residents, buildings, wildlife and the grounds surrounding the monumemt as increased traffic is encouraged into the area bypassing Amesbury.
