Looks like the battle by residents has finally been lost - https://thestrayferret.co.uk/plans-for-motorway-se...
It seems there is a `28 mile rule` now as a limiting factor in services intervals, no doubt as you'll need to limp to the next one in your EV.

As a North Yorkshire resident , it was no surprise that this proposal would attract strong opposition . Any development, anywhere , of any size, regardless of need or impact will be guaranteed to face a barrage of protest. Newts , wild flowers , traffic impact , sewerage impact , noise, dust , loss of farming land , wrong sort of people living near objector - you name it. And as often as not made by people whose houses were built in last few decades .

I didn't believe in Liz Truss's Anti Growth Coalition (aka common sense ) but heaven help anybody who wants to build anything in North Yorkshire
