A huge concrete 'homage' to Stonehenge in Brentwood can stay for at least 18 months giving its creator time to enter it into the prestigious Turner Prize art competition. Joe McNamara says he built the huge structure as a warning against the perils of climate change.

The 53-year-old said he was delighted that the Brentwood Borough Council planning committee agreed to allow it to stay when they met to discuss the piece of art that has already been built on land in Navestock. “It’s better than refusal,” he said after the meeting on Thursday.

Dubbed Unhenged the impressive structure has been orientated so the midday sun on the winter solstice directly strikes a central monolith pictured with the late Queen Elizabeth. The centre-piece includes SOS in Morse code a representation of an hourglass.

It has a series of LED lights that McNamara says reflects a warming planet and trenches within the lintels will eventually be planted with daffodils.
