The plans involve overhauling eight miles of the A303, including digging a two-mile tunnel.
The Stonehenge site was declared by Unesco to be a World Heritage Site of Outstanding Universal Value in 1986
A development consent order previously issued for the National Highways project was quashed by the High Court in July 2021 amid concern about the environmental impact on the Unesco World Heritage Site. The Save Stonehenge World Heritage Site alliance successfully challenged his decision in the High Court.
“We believe we have no choice but to launch a second legal challenge in the face of such belligerence.” The Stonehenge site, together with Avebury, was declared by Unesco to be a World Heritage Site of Outstanding Universal Value in 1986 on account of the size of the megaliths, the sophistication of their concentric plans and the complexes of Neolithic and Bronze Age sites and monuments.
The project is classified as nationally significant, which means a development consent order is needed for it to go ahead.
