ENGLISH NATURE AND UPGRADING OF THE A303

That this House agrees with the view of English Nature that upgrading the A303 between Ilminster and Exeter, close to two sites of special scientific interest, three county wildlife sites, across two river valleys and with the creation of a corridor one-third of a mile wide across an area of outstanding natural beauty will irretrievably damage the environment of the Blackdown Hills and the wildlife that depends on it and will cause serious and permanent ecological damage to an area of high biodiversity and therefore represents an unsustainable solution, which contradicts current Government policy.
