Opening salvos fired in battle over Tatton Services
A Tebay-style service station on the M56 could be 'too good' for the motorway, a planning inquiry has been told.
"And we think it will become a destination, which is a problem.” The services proposed for 39 acres of green belt land between J7 and J8 of the M56 include a new motorway service building with farm shop, a 100-bed hotel, filling station and 96 EV charging spaces.It was approved by Cheshire East council, as the local planning authority, in October 2023.
“The application site is not a tranquil agricultural environment – but is rather a gateway location to Greater Manchester, Manchester Airport and other parts of the North West,” said Mr Tucker. The first, he said, was the link road and the creation of J7 of the M56 which had cost £192m. “J7 is fully developed and doing its job,” said Mr Dixon.
