Roadside Facilities Policy Review - Public Consultation

Impact Assessment

Roadside Facilities Policy Equality Impact Assessment

Policy for Service Areas and Other Roadside Facilities on Motorways and All-Purpose Trunk Roads in England

This Impact Assessment considers the effect that the roadside facilities policy might have on equality issues and any financial impact it might have on businesses, public bodies and the third sector.  The policy provides guidance on the development and operation of roadside facilities in England. The policy applies in respect of all signed roadside facilities on the strategic road network (SRN) that do not have a planning application registered with the relevant Local Planning Authority (LPA) prior to 31 March 2008.

The policy will also apply to the redevelopment of existing roadside facilities that do not have a planning application registered with the LPA prior to this date, when the gross floor area of a facility increases by 50 per cent or more. Additionally, the relevant section of this policy will apply when any specific element of an existing facility is redeveloped, such as parking or toilets.
