⚠️ Please note that this service area is not yet open.
Construction has started on a new service area, positioned south of Newark, in January 2022. It is expected to open in October 2022.
Planned Facilities
Catering: Burger King Drive Thru, Greggs, Pret A Manger, Starbucks Drive Thru Shops: Budgens Amenities: Showers Charging Points: GRIDSERVE Electric Highway; Tesla Supercharger Forecourt: Template:WB Fuel
Trivia and Design
The plan was put forward by Alliance GW Ltd on behalf of Welcome Break, although it did look like it was likely to take the branding of their parent company, Applegreen.
The location is nestled in the loop of the junction of the A1 and the B6326. Despite its small footprint, the service area will cater for all vehicle types, including 67 car parking spaces, 42 HGV parking spaces, an abnormal load parking area, 2 dedicated coach bays and 24 electric vehicle charging points.
In line with many Applegreen layouts, there will be a single building with a retail area and forecourt shop at the front. Along the back wall will be a Burger King counter and drive thru windows, a Greggs, Pret A Manger, toilets and showers. A second building will be a drive thru Starbucks.
Planning History
Welcome Break first entered discussions with Newark & Sherwood District Council in 2019. The plan received the support of Highways England, who suggested it be signposted from the main A1, despite the route back to the A1 southbound being rather indirect. As well as catering for long-distance traffic, it would also be aiming to attract local traffic using the new Fernwood Business Park opposite and the Newark Southern Link Road.
Outline planning permission was granted in November 2020.
The developer appears to be promoting the project under the name Newark. This shouldn't be confused with the existing service area, just up the road at the congested Winthorpe junction, which also used to be called Newark.
