Greggs has been refused permission to open new outlets at two service stations by Wakefield Council.
Planning officers rejected plans at Woolley Edge, on the M1, and Darrington, on the A1, due to the impact on surrounding greenbelt land. The bakery chain applied to build new drive-thru premises at the Moto Hospitality northbound services at Woolley Edge. Permission was sought to change the parking layout to accommodate the facility and provide indoor seating for 32 customers. Planning policy does not allow development in the greenbelt unless “very special circumstances” can be identified.
It said customer demand has increased since the pandemic when social distancing was in place. A Greggs shop is currently based in the main services building but was due to be replaced by a new Pret a Manger sandwich shop. An officer’s report said the scheme was “inappropriate development”. It added: “The proposal, being located in an area currently used for parking, would have a harmful impact on the openness of the greenbelt.

Wandsworth Council: Low council tax but high-quality servicesWandsworth Council charges residents in a band-D property just £961 this year, yet it's still opening libraries and launching 'skip days' - many across the UK might be looking and wondering: how can we get the same service? Wandsworth Council charges some of the lowest council tax in England but still makes provisions for extra services – how does it do it? It is shortly after 9:30am on a brisk Saturday morning on Larch Close in Balham, and a father and his toddler daughter are chanting a made-up song while waiting in the line to use an enormous skip that’s been placed in the street. “Mega skip day,” the two cheerfully chant as the father finishes kicking apart a shelving unit so he can dispose of it. The others gathering around are less obviously exuberant but still share cheerful words with the high-vis clad council workers Emma and Eve who are staffing the skip.
