520			_aProposes that planning policy in respect of motorway service areas is urgently in need of complete overhaul. Although the highway safety case for providing services should be paramount, motorway service areas (MSAs) need to be located at certain intervals along the strategic road network and are sited almost always in areas of planning restraint. Points out the policy gap between the March 2001 revision of PPG13 on transport's omission of a service area annex until the promised publication of a new MSA circular in 2003. Concludes that MSA policy needs to be brought into line with the approach presented in the planning reform green paper.
