NEGATIVE IMPACT ON WILDLIFE AND HABITAT
The Stonehenge chalk landscape SPA and River Avon SAC are home to some of the country’s most important habitats and species. The construction of the road scheme threatens, inter alia, the nesting sites and foraging areas of Schedule 1 bird species: the Stone Curlews and Great Bustards. Construction of the road scheme would adversely affect the integrity of the SPA. Here are our specialists’ comments on the adverse impacts on biodiversity:
- Stone Curlew and Great Bustard (2019),
- Butterflies and Great Crested Newts (section 4) (2022), and
- Objection to replacement plot for Stone Curlew on Parsonage Down NNR (2024).
