Some would argue that this is because the value never existed to the extent claimed by the heritage lobby Nigel. I don't agree with this argument. However, the quality of the defense of "heritage value" on projects like Stonehenge will set a precedent for other projects around the country.

Couldn't agree more. Except I'd say it's the attack not the defence that will be the problem. If they drive a new road over such an iconic landscape then yes, everywhere less iconic will be vulnerable.
