Motorway Services proposed for Catherine de Barnes
A Motorway Service Area on the M42 has been agreed in principle for Catherine de Barnes on the basis that the significant need outweighs the harm caused by the development. An area of Greenbelt land close to Walford Hall Farmhouse is favoured. Local MP's Caroline Spelman and John Taylor had previously spoken out against the development of a motorway service area for the M42 by Blue Boar - Swayfields Ltd
