New motorway service station

The benefits of jobs far outweighs any disadvantages of chopping down a few hundred trees. I really hope this development is given the green light.

So it has to be that site and no other? Really?

I can't understand why the brownfield site behind the woodland can't be used instead

Just build the thing and create a good few jobs. Jobs v Trees, no contest is it really.

Build it, on the available brown field site, then the jobs vs trees debate never happens.

Jobs V Trees no contest

Trees V Brownfield site next door no contest

The alternative proposals at J33 seem to be the easy way out for the council.

If it was just a few birch trees or something you could offset it by planting more elsewhere. Ancient woodland is very different; they are rare ecosystems that have developed over thousands of years, you can't just go and plant one somewhere else. Ancient woodlands vs. jobs: ancient woodlands every time. You can create jobs almost anywhere. Should we build a massive airport in one of the loveliest spots in the Peak District and put a 6 lane motorway to it? Of course not. We shouldn't let economics trash what's left of our countryside.

A few jobs v the oxygen giving lungs of the planet really is no contest.

The days of motorway services are probably numbered anyway. Once we have fully automatic cars we'll be able to turn the front seats around and have a picnic meal in the car, motorway services stops will mainly be about using the toilet. We won't even need a coffee to keep us awake.

We will always require some form of motorway services as on long drives people will always need the toilet.

Yes they are perfect - not. Check the news of the Uber ones in the states that are all off the road after an accident.
