This Planning Statement is a replacement of the original Planning Statement prepared by Spawforths (dated August 2019). The revised Planning Statement has been prepared in response to a request from Warrington MBC planning officers to set out the planning justification for the Application Proposals in an alternative form to that set out in the original Planning Statement. To avoid confusion, the revised Planning Statement supersedes the original document, which no longer forms part of the Planning Application. 1.2. On behalf of Extra MSA Group, Spawforths have prepared and submitted an outline planning application for a ‘New Concept’ Motorway Service Area (MSA) on land at Junction 11 of the M62 Motorway. The application was submitted on 30th August 2019 and comprises an outline application with all matters, except for access, reserved for consideration at a later date. The proposal comprises: Erection of a Motorway Service Area including Facilities Building, up to 100 bedroom Hotel, service yard, Fuel Filling Station, Electric Charging Station, parking facilities for each category of vehicle, access and internal circulation roads, structured and natural landscaping with outside amenity space/picnic space and dog walking zone, pedestrian and cycle links, boundary fencing, surface water drainage areas, ecological mitigation, pumping station(s), substation(s), retaining structures and associated infrastructure and earthworks. Structure of the Report 1.3. This Planning Statement is structured as follows: Section 2 Provides background information regarding Motorway Service Areas in the UK, along with information about the applicant Extra MSA Group. Section 3 Provides an overview of the site and its planning history. Section 4 Provides an overview of the proposed development. Section 5 Outlines the approach undertaken in respect to Stakeholder Involvement. Section 6 Outlines the relevant Statutory Planning Policy Context and Other Material Considerations that are relevant to the assessment of this application. 4 Section 7 Analysis of the Planning Merits of the Proposed Development including its potential compliance with the Development Plan and National Guidance Section 8 Sets out the proposed planning obligations that are known as this stage. Section 9 Summarises the findings of the report and concludes the overall balancing balance 1.4. The applicants have taken professional advice from a development team and supplementary information has been prepared in support of the application by the following consultants. The additional information accords with the validation requirements agreed during the pre- application discussions with the Council. 1.5.

Background to Motorway Service Areas in the UK and Extra MSA Group Motorway Service Area Provision in the UK 2.1. The Strategic Road Network plays a key role in the safe and efficient movement of goods, supplies and people around the United Kingdom; it is critical to the performance of the economy and is essential in helping to facilitate planned economic growth. 2.2. DfT Circular 02/2013 The Strategic Road Network and the Delivery of Sustainable Development, (paragraph 8) notes that “A well-functioning strategic road network enables growth by providing for safe and reliable journeys”1. 2.3. This is also confirmed by Department for Transport report ‘Action for Roads: A Network for the 21st Century’ (July 2013) which states that “The road network is vital to our nation and a crucial part of the national transport system. It provides real and direct economic benefits: to business, to workers, to consumers. Better connections support individual towns and cities and strengthen the country as a whole. Failures of the road network increase costs, stifle employment opportunities and make it harder to do business in the UK”.2 2.4. The need to keep the Strategic Road Network flowing, supporting economic connectivity and mitigating the cost of delay is fundamental to national economic performance. The resulting impact and costs of delays resulting from accidents on the Strategic Road Network can be significant and widespread. The Government estimates that the economic impact of a three lane carriageway closure on a busy motorway can be more than £500,0003. The social impact of accidents on the Strategic Road Network is also substantial and by 2020, Highways England has a target to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on the network by 40%4. 1 DfT Circular 02/2013. The Strategic Road Network and the Delivery of Sustainable Development.

I have reviewed the details of the application and at this stage, there is further work required in order to determine the impact this application would have on the safety and operation of the strategic road network. As such, a notice of none determination has been placed on this application for a period of 6 months, until 5th April 2019, or until all information is received and a full review can be carried out. I have provided a technical review, which is attached and a summary of this is as follows: This review has highlighted the need for further information: 1) Parking is based upon busiest month, however, it should be demonstrated that the busiest month is in fact July, based upon the number of missing survey days within July and other months. 2) The parking provision generally complies to Cir 02/13, however the number of caravan / motorhome / vehicle with trailer spaces available for disabled users should be increased to 2. 3) It should be demonstrated that the inclusion of committed developments would not materially change the assessments. In addition to the above, it should be noted that the CTMP should be conditioned on any approval such that it is produced and agreed before construction starts and then implemented throughout the construction period. Once final layouts have been determined these should be subject to a design standards check and subsequently a Stage 1 RSA.

  • Iver Motorway Service Area Response, February 2021
    President: Rt.Hon. the Lord Randall of Uxbridge Kt.PC. Planning Service Buckinghamshire Council King George V House King George V Road Amersham HP6 5AW February 2021 Dear Sir/Madam Re: Planning application PL/20/4332/0A Motorway Service Area between Junctions 15 and 16 near Iver Heath This application falls within the Colne Valley Regional Park (CVRP) and the Green Belt. Buckinghamshire Council and the former Chiltern and South Bucks Councils have been supporters of the CVRP since its inception. We hope the Council will continue to uphold the six objectives of the CVRP since this application represents the loss of farmland; the loss of 46 Ha of the CVRP and the Green Belt in a sensitive location; harm to recreational rights of way; harm to watercourses which run through the development, and the loss of, and harm to, existing grassland, woodland, hedgerows and their accompanying biodiversity. • This response to the planning application also looks at the case for the Motorway Service Areas affecting the CVRP, including the one in this location • The strategic planning context and the impact on the Green Belt • The extent of the harm arising from the scheme and • The scale of mitigation that should accompany the development if the very special circumstances’ (VSC) were to be accepted by the decision maker (whether the Council or Secretary of State). The case for an MSA in this location This application for a motorway service area is one of three currently being considered by local authorities along the north-western edge of the M25. All the operators state that there is a need for an MSA on this stretch of motorway between the existing Cobham and South Mimms MSAs.
