9. (c)

Level 1- Land erosion due to development (1) Level 2 – One development is to expand the site which will mean more of the land near the stones will be protected which means there will be less people just wandering around the area walking and eroding the land especially when it is raining as it turfs up the grass. In order to build a visitor centre it may mean destroying some of the land and this might mean some wildlife may be disrupted as their homes are being replaced with a building. (4) Level 3 – The site receives over 300,000 visitors each year. This means it has lots of people which will walk to the site and wear away the land. Some visitors do not look after the environment and drop litter. In order to get to the site many people drive there making lots of pollution from the car fumes. These fumes will pollute the air. Having a visitor centre and developing the site might mean even more visitors to the site. Large numbers of people create noise and this can upset the wildlife. The result of this could be changes in habitat. Birds may move to other areas. In order to develop the site and build a visitor centre it will mean having to use large building trucks which will be noisy and also ruin the area from the transportation of building materials. Again the wildlife will be affected. The development is also suggesting a re-route of the road. To do this it may involve chopping down trees which will result in harming or moving nature from its own habitat. (7) Level 1 – Ask local land owners if they want their field to be used as a car park (2) Level 2 – Local landowners could be approached to see if they would allow their land to be used as a car park. This would mean they would make money from people parking whilst they go to the visitor centre. This would create employment and income for the local people. (4)
