Our new Motorway Service Area will createjobs for the local community, and increasebusiness for local suppliers. The design isenvironmentally responsible and minimisesimpact on the landscape.
Applegreen plc is proposing to develop a newMotorway Service Area (MSA) at land adjacent tojunction 4 of the M42.
Our proposals will set new design standards and we aim
to raise the bar for future MSAs across the UK. Our design
features a flowing, grass covered roof and canopies thathelp to blend buildings into the surrounding countryside.
We wiil minimise our impact on the surrounding area withsmart thinking and the best in sustainable design. All of our
buildings, including a two storey amenity building, will be
highly energy eff icient,
The new service area will create a place where motorists
on the M42 can stop, refuel and refresh in a welcomingand comfortable environment.
ln addition to deLivering excellent design, we are committedto creating benefit directly for neighbouring communities,
both in the provision of management, retail and maintenancejobs, and also in creating opportunity for local produce
suppliers. We will create approxlmately 300 new iobswhich wrll qive surrounding communities a significanteconomic boost.
Our selection of this strategic location means we will not
need to build significant new road tnfrastructure for entryand exit onto the l'/42. The site location aiso ensures safe
access to our site for local people to travel to work using
existing roads and pathways.
We are aware of alternative proposals for an MSA close to
Junction 5 of the M42. We believe our project has significantadvantages, both for the local economy, and due to our
compact planning application boundary area, (some 700%smaller than the alternate proposals), a much reduced
environmental impact.
