To whom it may concern,
I am concerned about the A303 tunnel construction plans at Stonehenge for the following reasons:
UNESCO has not approved of the tunnel plan in its current form
10 hectares of the World Heritage Site would be irreversibly damaged and the ancient sites from that area lost and destroyed
The entire landscape around Stonehenge is a unique area containing various ancient sites both older and younger than Stonehenge, some of which have not yet been excavated, and damaging it should not be risked in any way
The newly discovered Blick Mead site could be irreparably damaged
Disruption of the area's wildlife and ecological systems
Noise pollution
There is no research evidence that shows that such a road scheme will provide any gains, particularly not for the World Heritage Site - the danger and risk to it far outweigh any theoretical benefit
Thank you,
Laura Boeva
