Planning History
The plan was put forward by Alliance GW Ltd on behalf of Welcome Break, although a lot of the paperwork was in Applegreen's name.
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.
