English Heritage looks to public in latest round of Stonehenge visitor centre saga

by Simon at 10:23 01/07/08 (Blogs::Simon)

From the www.bdonline.co.uk website:

English Heritage is to launch a public consultation to find a new site for its long-planned Stonehenge visitor centre.

The news comes more than six months after it scrapped Denton Corker Marshall’s design for a centre. That scheme, which had been granted planning permission in December, was shelved after the government decided not to fund a £500 million A303 tunnel. Heritage Lottery Funding had been conditional upon the tunnel going ahead. Denton Corker Marshall won a competition to design the facility in 2001 after EH had ditched a previous scheme by Edward Cullinan Architects.

From July 15, members of the public will be able to offer feedback on EH’s review of the World Heritage Site Management Plan, and proposed environmental improvements to the roads around the monument, as well as possible locations for the new visitor facilities.

The proposals will be displayed at a series of public exhibitions, at Antrobus House in Amesbury in Wiltshire from July 17-19; at the Society of Antiquaries in Piccadilly, London, from July 24-26, and at Wyndham House in Salisbury from July 28-October 17.
