I think there are good reasons why this proposal is going to be well worthy of a fuss.

Apart from the obvious ambience and noise problems there are two more possible dangers -

Vibration. Studies have been done at Stonehenge suggesting this can be a major hazard if the source is within 40 metres, which this would be.

Lichens. Britain's oldest is on one of the stones. Lorries diverted along there are bound to worsen air quality and lichens are notorious for upping and dying if there's even the slightest worsening of it, so....

Also, crossing the road to the King Stone'd be a problem, not to mention fucking the 'ritual landscape'....

As usual.

Can't get to the meeting - I'm oop Naarf & J's priorly engaged. :^(

Here's a picture of the 800 year old lichen colony http://www.heritageaction.org/?page=theheritagejournal&id=76

Note the yellow paint across it. It seems to have survived that so far but a permanent diet of deisel fumes might be just too much,
