Jon, you seem to be confusing political platitudes with a genuine Government capacity to quantify cultural value. "Unique" and "beyond measure" and "irreplaceable" are much used words that show it CAN'T. If the tunnel goes ahead it will be because the Government wills it, not because they've applied a meaningful measure to the cultural loss.
