Not only are they taking the credit (if in fact that's the correct word) for Rachel Reeve's decision, they're looking for yet more money from you folks to go back to court.....for why?! This time they think that by going to court, they can
overturn the legal judgement that the DCO will remain in place for the next 4 years....in otherwords they want the DCO hung drawn and quartered, so that it cannot be resurrected at any time in the future.
This is what's in their bank account, while they apparently....go back to court!!!!

Save Stonehenge World Heritage Site
Determined to protect the Stonehenge landscape for future generations
We’re applying to the Supreme Court
"After the disappointing news from the Court of Appeal, we’ve decided to make an application to the Supreme Court. We believe the issues at stake: the protection of World Heritage Sites and that ministers should know the detail of what they’re taking a decision on, are too important to be left hanging. Plus of course the planning permission for the proposed new road and tunnel remains in place and could be resurrected at any time should the politicians change their minds (up to 4 August 2028)
Before making this decision, we asked our supporters what they wanted to do, and overwhelmingly they said we should continue, at least for the moment. We now have to get our application in to the Supreme Court before the end of November. However, we’re unlikely to hear back for 4 – 5 months as to whether we’ve been successful or not.
Most of the costs for doing this are already covered but we are still a few thousand short if you are able to spare anything towards this case.
Many thanks,
Chris, John and Mike
Save Stonehenge World Heritage Site
This is their claim...
Fantastic news! We’ve stopped the road!
Today, the new Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, cancelled the scheme, calling it a “low value, unaffordable commitment”. In doing so she has ended years of upset and concern.Our huge thanks to everyone who has helped us win the battle and stop the dualling of the A303 across the World Heritage Site and the harm it would have caused. However, while the scheme has been cancelled on affordability grounds, its planning permission remains intact. On that point, the Court of Appeal will still be considering its judgement on the legality of the decision to approve the scheme which we expect to be handed down in the Autumn. We will keep you posted on this. In the meantime, savour our collective success!
Many thanks for your support
Chris, John and Mike

There's a lot of reading here, but the relevant section is "The PA 2008"
with the relevant Part 1, and Part 2 appearing to be covering the
fundamentals: one thing is certain, Stonehenge Alliance/SSWHS would need
to clearly demonstrate (they) 'have an interest in the land' - which
they would have difficulty in justifying unless e.g. National Trust or
English Heritage would agree to this/these bodies purchasing title to
the land (Stonehenge WHS).
