From: Fearnside, Jamey <[email protected]> Sent: 05 October 2018 13:45 To: Planning Consultations Attachments: 679066.AE.18.36.18 TM001 Final.pdf; 18 00123 EIAMAJ .pdf F.A.O Planning Officer Thank you for your application dated 14th September 2018. 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. I look forward to receiving updated information for review and progressing with this application.

The application is a re-submission of a planning application for the proposed development of the Vale of York Motorway Service Area [MSA] between junctions 48 and 49 of the A1(M), including associated infrastructure and the partial diversion of the A168. The TA and FTP have been prepared by AECOM on behalf of Applegreen Plc [the Applicant]. The TA was originally finalised in January 2018. This technical memorandum comments on the suitability of the TA report whilst a separate CH2M technical memorandum (referenced 679066.AE.18.36.18 TM002) comments on the suitability of the FTP. Comments are made below in relation to whether the TA suitably considers the impact of the proposals upon the Strategic Road Network [SRN]. For ease of cross referencing, the headings adopted below are the same as those utilised within the TA. Background Paragraph 1.2.1 of the TA affirms that a planning application was first submitted to HBC for a twin- sided MSA on the current site in 1996, referred to then as Kirkby Hill. From this point, a number of applications and subsequent appeals have been made on behalf of the Kirkby Hill MSA proposal. The timeline below therefore provides a high-level summary of the previous sequential stages of the proposed development. x 1996 – Planning application submitted to HBC for a twin-sided MSA on the Kirby Hill site. x January 1998 – Application appealed for non-determination which resulted in co-joined inquiry. x March 1999 – Secretary of State (SoS) granted planning permission to Kirby Hill MSA proposal. x April 2000 – It was found that the SoS did not give adequate reason for the decision of approval and the decision was quashed. x 2002 – SoS re-opened the inquiry. The Kirby Hill MSA was refused at this inquiry. x 2008 – The Kirby Hill application resurfaced in 2008 but was refused by the local planning authority HBC. HIGHWAYS ENGLAND SPATIAL PLANNING ARRANGEMENT – NORTH EAST AND YORKSHIRE & HUMBER 1 PROPOSED MOTORWAY SERVICE AREA – MARTON LE MOOR, NORTH YORKSHIRE ch2ffl: A:COM c;v~1:rA x 2012 – The decision was appealed and was once again considered at an inquiry. The inspector recommended refusal of the Kirby Hill MSA proposals and the SoS agreed with this decision.
