Wiltshire Council has received a planning application for major construction at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre. English Heritage is seeking to develop new education facilities on the site through two new buildings and associated landscaping works. The second building would be a ‘Neolithic structure’ for a ‘Neolithic classroom’ east of the visitor centre, near the existing ‘Neolithic village’. The learning centre would have a total floor area of 397m2 and would include a STEM lab, as well as a learning studio connected to outdoor spaces.
