    Plans for a controversial road tunnel at Stonehenge have been approved by the government.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-wiltshire-66201424

    The transport secretary, Mark Harper, has granted a development consent order for a scheme to widen roads and dig a two-mile tunnel near the ancient site. The project, which was initially costed at £1.7bn, is designed to speed up journey times on the
    A303, a major link to south-west England.

    The tunnel was approved in 2020 by the then transport secretary, Grant Shapps, in defiance of the planning inspectors’ recommendations. But his order was overturned by the high court a year later amid concern about the environmental impact on the
    Unesco world heritage site.

    Planning inspectors said the road works would cause “permanent, irreversible harm” to the site of the prehistoric monument in Wiltshire. About eight miles of road will be rebuilt, including the new tunnel.

    Harper has approved, with slight modifications, the same scheme, after holding further consultations. In the 64-page letter outlining his decision, the Department for Transport said Harper was satisfied that the project’s “harm on spatial, visual
    relations and settings” was “less than substantial and should be weighed against the public benefits”.

    Why does it need to pass so close? What are they really digging for?

    Nearby villages are often used as rat runs by traffic trying to avoid queues on the A303, which often dictates when and how people can make local trips. Thousands of cars would be removed from local doorsteps every day, making it easier for people to go
    about their daily lives and making villages much more pleasant and peaceful places to live.

    Economy

    The A303 is a vital connection between the south east and south west of England. At the moment key sections are plagued by congestion making it impossible for businesses to plan journeys accurately – which can directly affect their bottom line and
    impact the local economy. The new A303 past Stonehenge would make journeys more reliable, helping to unlock regional economic development, boosting growth in jobs and housing and improving connections between the south east and south west.

    Heritage

    The World Heritage Site around Stonehenge is cut in two by the noisy, busy A303. Every day on average more than 26,000 cars, lorries and vans pass just 165 metres from the stones. This would be transformed – restoring the Stonehenge landscape to
    something like its original setting. The sight and sound of traffic will be removed, and the north and south parts of the World Heritage Site will be reunited – allowing visitors to enjoy the whole landscape.

    Environment

    The physical barrier created by the current A303 makes it impossible for people to fully enjoy the whole World Heritage Site landscape. Our plans would help people to explore the area more freely with 11 miles of new paths for walkers, cyclists and horse
    riders which will link into existing routes. Wildlife would benefit too. We’ll be adding to what is already one of the world’s largest areas of chalk grassland and all sorts of animals would be able to move over the tunnel and over four new green
    bridges.
