Consultation Proposals

Benefits

At Moto, we are proud of the work we do to lead the way in transitioning to clean, sustainable energy and make a lasting impact on the communities around our sites.  

Our proposals for Junction 2 will deliver the following key benefits:  

  • At least 120 new FTE jobs from operation, prioritising employing local people where possible.
     
  • Significant investment into the local economy.  

  • Improved road safety through providing a new place for motorists to stop, refresh and refuel.
     
  • Providing around 50 much needed new EV charging spaces from day one, with the site future-proofed to deliver more as demand and grid capacity grows. 

  • Helping to decarbonise the road network through reducing petrol and diesel vehicles, ensuring cleaner air for future generations. 

  • Around 70 new HGV spaces to address the critical local shortage, helping to prevent parking in lay-bys or at industrial estates and providing HGV drivers with much needed welfare facilities. 

  • At least 10% biodiversity net gain, with a target of 20%, delivered through on-site enhancements and thriving wildlife habitats. 

  • A highly sustainable development, incorporating a living green roof and solar panels to generate renewable energy onsite.  

  • Commitment to support local community through charitable works.
