The new MSA will be known as “Ripon”. This is because the nearest significant city to the proposed MSA is Ripon which lies to the south west of the A1(M) motorway. 1.2 The planning application is submitted as a hybrid application. The application contains all the appropriate and necessary detail to enable the Council to make a determination with the certainty that the MSA will be delivered in accordance with the package of information supplied with the application. 1.3 The site extends to 13.35 hectares (33 acres). 1.4 The new Ripon MSA will provide an Amenity Building, 100 bed Lodge, Fuel Filling Station, Drive Thru Coffee Unit, parking for all classes of vehicles, landscape, and amenity areas. 1.5 The relevant parking facilities comprise: Vehicle Parking type Spaces provided Amenity building and lodge parking 377 Motorcycle parking 14 Service yard parking (staff allocated) 13 Fuel filling station parking 8 HGV 67 Coaches 13 Caravans 8 Abnormal load 1 1.6 Moto has engaged in pre-application discussions with Harrogate Borough Council and relevant statutory consultees including Highways England. An Environmental Screening and Scoping process has been undertaken with the Council. 1.7 Moto has undertaken a comprehensive engagement with the local community and stakeholders. This has been helpful in formulating details of the project for the planning application. The details of this consultation are set out in the Statement of Community Engagement. Collins & Coward 2 Structure of the Statement 1.8 This Statement is structured as follows: Chapter 2 Sets out the background for MSAs in the UK and information on Moto; Chapter 3 Sets out the need for an MSA at Ripon; Chapter 4 Describes the Site; Chapter 5 Describes the proposed MSA development; Chapter 6 Details the relevant planning policy; Chapter 7 Considers the planning balance; Chapter 8 Assess the decision in respect of the 2012 Planning Appeal; Chapter 9 Summaries the Statement and concludes the planning assessment. 1.9 This Planning Statement is submitted as part of a package of plans and documents comprising the planning application and should be read together with all other information in the application. Collins & Coward 3 2.0 MOTORWAY SERVICE AREAS IN UK 2.1 The first generation of MSAs were developed by the Government and leased to operators. The first service area in the UK was at Watford Gap on the M1, which opened with the M1 motorway on 2 November 1959. In 1992, the Government introduced de- regulation to allow freehold ownership of MSAs by the private sector. This allowed a new generation of MSAs to be developed offering a wider range of facilities including retail services to the travelling public. 2.2 Today there are around 112 MSAs across the UK, in the main operated by four major providers, Moto, Welcome Break, Extra and Roadchef. There are a small number of independent operations. Moto’s operations are shown below on the UK motorway network map. 2.3 The Government is firmly committed to MSAs being developed and owned by private operators. MSAs totally belong to the motorway network and therefore firmly identified as road infrastructure investment. Highways England seeks to support the economy through the provision of safe and reliable strategic road network. MSAs provide the opportunity to provide stopping points on the motorway for the safety and welfare of the travelling public. 2.4 The provision of MSAs assists in achieving sustainable transport and travel objectives by keeping vehicles on the motorway. This avoids motorists leaving the motorway in search of places to stop for rest and refreshment which can involve substantial additional mileage and add to local traffic congestion. Providing motorists with the opportunity to stop on their motorway journey reduces congestion, unnecessary mileage, and additional trips. This in turn reduces air pollution and saves on finite fuel resources making journeys shorter and more efficient. 2.5 Increasing demand for motorway usage is leading to the introduction of “SMART” motorways to assist in demand management. MSAs have an important role to play in making motorway use safe and efficient. 2.6 Fundamental to MSA provision is the overall objective of reducing accidents and this can be achieved by ensuring there is an adequate network of stops where rest and refreshment can be provided in a safe and pleasant environment dedicated to the travelling public. Their provision is crucial to the success of the economy in the same way that airports and railways stations deliver strategic locations convenient to the public. Moto Hospitality Limited 2.7 Moto is the leading UK provider of MSAs with over 45 locations (Shown below) and 5,000 employees. The Company was founded in 1962 (as Granada) and still retains its Headquarters at Toddington Services. It became known as Moto Hospitality Limited in 2001. 2.8 Over 150 million people visit a Moto MSA every year with the most popular three sites (Wetherby, Cherwell Valley, and Toddington North) attracting over 5 million visitors. Collins & Coward 4 2.9 People use Moto’s MSAs to: • Purchase refreshments • Visit the facilities • Fuel their vehicles • Take a rest • Hold business meetings Collins & Coward 5 2.10 The new MSA will create around 200 full time jobs. There is comprehensive training for all employees and the chance through internal succession for promotion potentially to the company board. 2.11 Moto is committed to reducing environmental impact. Wetherby was the first MSA to be carbon neutral. All the existing Moto MSAs have the following: • Energy efficient and motion sensor lighting; • Efficient control of heating/air-conditioning; • Composting food waste from kitchens; • No chemicals used on trees, shrubs, and flowers; • Sending cooking oil for production of diesel; • Recycling 520 tonnes of cardboard every year; • Increasing e-charging points for electric vehicles. 2.12 New MSAs will include the following environmental credentials: • Biomass boilers for a zero-carbon renewable source for heating and hot water; • Rainwater harvesting to provide water for flushing toilets; • Maximising natural light inside the Amenity Building; • Full cut-off lighting outside buildings to minimise light pollution. • A fully integrated Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) for surface water management that is designed to provide multiple benefits (quality, quantity, amenity and biodiversity) in accordance with best practice. 2.13 ‘Moto in the Community’ is Moto’s registered charity foundation established in 2005, with the intention of supporting communities within which it operates. The foundation supports one national charity and has been working with Help for Heroes since 2012 raising £1.5 million towards a target of £2 million for them. Each Moto site supports local charities and schools as nominated by the employees. In 2016 nearly £80,000 was given to local charities and community partners. 2.14 Moto also has a network of ‘adopted schools’ who receive book donations, are invited to enter competitions for resources, and can gain access grants to support specific projects. There is a benevolent fund for employees and their families through times of hardship. 2.15 Moto seeks to work with local authorities, business groups and other stakeholders to promote business and tourism for each local economy. Collins & Coward 6 3.0 THE NEED FOR AN MSA AT RIPON 3.1 The Transport Assessment and the Alternative Sites Assessment both detail the case for an MSA at Ripon based upon Government Policy and specific provision of MSA facilities on the A1(M) motorway. 3.2 Government policy relating to motorways and trunk roads is set out in Department for Transport (“DfT”) Circular 02/2013 entitled “The Strategic Road Network and the Delivery of Sustainable Development”. 3.3 Circular 02/2013 published on 10 September 2013 at paragraph 8 confirms that: “a well-functioning strategic road network enables growth by providing safe and reliable journeys” 3.4 Annex B of the Circular deals with the provision of roadside facilities on motorways and trunk roads and confirms that: “…the primary function of roadside facilities being to support the safety and welfare of the road user” 3.5 The Circular states at paragraphs B4 and B5 that: “B4. Motorway service areas and other roadside facilities perform an important road safety function by providing opportunities for the travelling public to stop and take a break in the course of their journey. Government advice is that motorists should stop and take a break of at least 15 minutes every two hours. Drivers of many commercial and public service vehicles are subject to a regime of statutory breaks and other working time restrictions and these facilities assist in compliance with such requirements. B5. The network of service areas on the strategic road network has been developed on the premise that opportunities to stop are provided at intervals of approximately half an hour. However, the timing is not prescriptive as at peak hours, on congested parts of the network, travel between service areas may take longer”. 3.6 At paragraph B6 of the Circular, Highways England recommends that the maximum distance between MSAs should be no more than 28 miles but can be shorter.

  • Post Opening Project Evaluation M1 J10-13 HSR & Junctions
    Post Opening Project Evaluation M1 J10-13 HSR & Junctions One Year After Study October 2016 Notice Although this report was commissioned by Highways England, the findings and recommendations are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Highways England. While Highways England has made every effort to ensure the information in this document is accurate, Highways England does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of that information; and it cannot accept liability for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from reliance on the information or guidance this document contains. Post Opening Project Evaluation M1 J10-13 HSR and Junctions: One Year After Study Foreword Highways England’s motorways are some of the safest in the world. Our road network carries a third of road traffic and we have seen demand grow by a quarter since 2000 with continued growth forecast. One reason for the introduction is smart motorways is because there are more vehicles on the road. By making use of the full width of the road, smart motorways add that extra capacity to carry more vehicles and ease congestion. They have evolved from Controlled Motorways (with variable speed limits) to Dynamic Hard Shoulder Running (opening the hard shoulder as a running lane to traffic at busy periods) to All Lane Running (permanently removing the hard shoulder and converting it into a running lane). Compared to a traditional motorway widening they deliver: • Increased capacity at significantly less cost than traditional motorway widening. • New technology and variable speed limits to improve traffic flow.

  • 57 Years Policing the UK Motorways
    57 Years Policing the UK Motorways On this page we take a look at the history of policing the UK motorway network since the opening of the Preston Bypass in 1958. There are a number of articles written by members of Police Car UK and we hope that you will find this page both informative and interesting! It is quite long, so make yourself a cup of tea and settle down to... 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway The Preston Bypass The M6 Experiment Motorway Memories and West Yorkshire Motorways The 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway In 2009 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the opening of the first section of the M1 motorway. OK, before we start there is an argument that the first motorway was opened a year earlier in 1958 and was called the Preston by-pass. However, it wasn’t designated as a motorway (part of the M6) until several years later and so the other side of the coin will argue that the first ‘official’ motorway, the M1 was opened on 2nd November 1959. But the fact remains that from 1958/9 Britain’s motorway network expanded across the country and is now an integral part of our transport system and our everyday lives. And for obvious reasons it needs policing and so we find ourselves here in particular celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway. Those Police officers who have worked on ‘the strip’ over the years will have an affinity towards it that is hard to describe. It can be an extremely dangerous place to work but it can also be an exhilarating one.

  • Construction Impacts on Motorway Interchanges
    HIGH SPEED UK : CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS ON MOTORWAY INTERCHANGES Introduction Massive road traffic disruption and associated major construction difficulties at motorway interchanges have always been cited as one of the key arguments against any proposed high speed rail route aligned along the M1 corridor. Whilst no study has ever been published to substantiate this claim, it has gained general acceptance as a primary reason for rejecting the M1 corridor in favour of the selected route for HS2 through the Chilterns. Development of detailed horizontal and vertical alignment designs for the M1-aligned High Speed UK proposals now allows the assertion of insuperable difficulties at interchanges to be rigorously tested. This paper reviews the proposed HSUK alignments at all of the 21 M1 interchanges and 5 service areas between London and Lutterworth, to determine the nature and extent of the asserted difficulties. Information Considered 1:25,000 scale plans have been developed to cover the full extent (circa 1,000km ) of proposed HSUK new build route, from London to Liverpool and Glasgow. This has allowed both horizontal and vertical alignments to be designed for the proposed high speed line. Extracts from this mapping are presented below, in the case studies relating to each interchange. Technical Challenges presented at Motorway Interchanges The M1 was constructed along the primary national transport corridor, followed by Romans (Watling Street), canal builders (Grand Union Canal) and railway builders (London & Birmingham Railway, now West Coast Main Line) alike. In terms of the topography encountered en route, it is by far the most favourable route between London and the Midlands (this contrasts sharply with the Chiltern-aligned M40, constructed in much more difficult terrain).

  • Response from Highways England
    REGULATION 28 REPORT TO PREVENT FUTURE DEATHS THIS RESPONSE IS BEING SENT TO: The Assistant Coroner for the Coroner Area of Bedfordshire and Luton, Mr Tom Stoate of The Court House, Woburn Street, Ampthill, Bedfordshire, MK45 2HX in response to a ‘Regulation 28 Report to Prevent Future Deaths’ following an inquest hearing into the death of Zahid Ahmed that concluded on 14 January 2021. 1 HIGHWAYS ENGLAND I am , Safety, Engineering and Standards Executive Director, and Chief Highways Engineer, responding on behalf of , Acting Chief Executive of Highways England Company Limited of Bridge House, 1 Walnut Tree Close, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 4LZ. Highways England did not fall within the statutory definition of an Interested Person as contained at Section 47(2) of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 and did not otherwise receive notification of the inquest hearing date or a request to attend the inquest. As such, we were not present at the hearing and had no prior awareness of the discussions which occurred or the conclusions that were reached. We were therefore not afforded the opportunity to provide input to the inquest as the highway authority. In complying with our duty, Highways England have responded within 56 days of the date of the Regulation 28 report to prevent future deaths, namely by 29 April 2021. 2 CORONER’S MATTERS OF CONCERN The MATTERS OF CONCERN were identified as follows: – 1) The stretch of the M1 motorway where this fatal collision occurred is part of the ‘Managed Motorway’, which runs from Junction 13 to Junction 10. It features variable speed limits and, in places, an ‘actively managed hard shoulder’, which is a hard shoulder that in certain circumstances may be driven on.
