The Planning Inspectorate has overturned a Kent authority’s decision to block plans for much-needed lorry parking in the county.
The RHA backed an appeal against Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council’s move to halt a development on the M26 in Wrotham, near Sevenoaks for up to 200 more lorry parking spaces.
Service station operator, Moto successfully appealed the decision and has now been granted outline planning permission for construction of a secure 24-hour truck stop facility which will also feature a fuel station and an amenity building.
