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.
