Trivia and Design
See also: History:Cherwell Valley
Cherwell Valley is one of very few service areas not be named after a precise settlement. At the time it opened, developers were paying a lot of attention to landscaping, and liked suffixes such as "Park", "Green" and "Valley" which helped create the image of a tranquil resting spot.
There is a very large dog walking area at the back of the service area, although its entrance isn't obvious and it was only recently given prominent signage.
The building itself now uses a contemporary layout with large windows along the front, and a series of units along the back. This opened in 2011 and replaced the previous building, which had all its windows along the back, facing the garden. That previous design had a pitched roof that had been compared with the supermarkets of that era, but the building was eventually destroyed by a fire.
A 2011 report highlighted that Cherwell Valley had only a 6% turn-in rate, compared with 10% at Warwick.
Planning permission is held to build four more electric vehicle charging points beside the forecourt.
Oxfordshire Railfreight Interchange Ltd have proposed making even more changes to M40 J10. In each of their proposals, the exit from the service area to the M40 southbound would be closed and replaced by a significant detour, taking in several more roundabouts.
