Rejected petition Refuse a planning application near Catterick Village, approved by RDC (now NYC).

I request that the government refuse the planning permission granted by the defunct Richmondshire District Council (now North Yorkshire Council as of 1st April 2023), ref. 19/00473/FULL., for a Motorway Service Area proposed and to be constructed by the Roadchef Company close to Catterick Village.

More details

It should be refused on the basis that this unwanted MSA (Motorway Service Area) would destroy an important wildlife environment, used by migrating wildfowl and indigenous wildlife.

In addition to this, local villagers' lifestyle will be badly affected by increased crime, rubbish, anti-social behaviour, noise, and light pollution, if the MSA is built. There is a Moto alternative at two nearby MSA's, which would negate the need for this development and result in zero impact on the environment.
