A303 Stonehenge road DCO postponed to July 2020
Highways England in the UK has submitted the Development Consent Order (DCO) report containing recommendation to the Secretary of State for Transport for the A 303 Stonehenge road project. The secretary will make a decision by July 17, 2020. Since the project is classified as a nationally significant infrastructure project, DCO is needed for permission to build.
Over the past eighteen months, the proposals have been examined by a panel of independent inspectors appointed by the Planning Inspectorate. The project will establish a dual carriageway between Amesbury and Berwick Down to replace the existing single carriageway, which runs past Stonehenge and through the village of Winterbourne Stoke. It will also involve a new junction west of Stonehenge, to ease congestion on the A303 and A360, as well as a link to Winterbourne Stoke.
More information regarding the project scope and development can be found here.
