A cluster of ancient neolithic standing stones in France were bulldozed to make way for a DIY store
A building permit was granted in August last year,. Mayor Olivier Lepick told the outlet that he had"followed the law" and that the site had low archaeological value.
Louise Chaulin, a spokesperson for Mr Bricolage, told Insider that the company"sincerely regrets" the situation but pointed to the permit it received to build its store.The UNESCO application, if it goes through, will see the sites more closely regulated. While Lepick attributed the decision to a mistake with the region's complex zoning situation, Obeltz told The Local that he believed it had been fudged in order to allow the development to go ahead before the UNESCO application is formalized.
"Elected officials in the area and the département are in a hurry to build up anything [there] because once it is classified with UNESCO, it won't be possible anymore," he told the outlet. Subscribe to push notifications
