The Leeds Skelton Lake Services redevelopment includes a wonderful wildflower meadow roof that is a main feature of the new development near Leeds, blending in seamlessly with the landscape. The extensive green roof was designed by ABG Geosynthetics and was installed by Geogreen.
A ‘new concept’ building design was employed by Extra MSA Group for the Leeds site at Junction 45 on the M1, focusing on providing a wide choice of food outlets and business, leisure and community facilities within attractive and relaxing surroundings. The Skelton site was identified as the perfect location to deliver the concept within the Leeds City Region, where spacing between existing MSAs (motorway service areas) is greater than the maximum limit of 28 miles set out in ‘The Strategic Road Network and the Delivery of Sustainable Development’.
