A UNESCO member said 'Britain’s plans to mitigate the effect of the new tunnel' are sufficient.
A decision on whether to add Stonehenge to Unesco's World Heritage in Danger list has been delayed by 18 months.
The amendment, put forward by the Kenya delegation, said Britain’s plans to mitigate the effect the tunnel would have on the site and the surrounding landscape are sufficient.But campaign group Stonehenge Alliance said it was “shocked” by the vote, describing the amendment as “highly damaging and inaccurate”.
“We welcome the committee’s decision not to place Stonehenge on the list of World Heritage in Danger," they added.
