One of the factors that helped the development gain planning permission was the inclusion of a green roof in the design.
The 4000sqm state-of-the-art green roof was designed to disguise the new service station as part of the landscape.
With the Cotswolds on one side and Robinswood Hill on the other, every effort had to be made to reduce the aesthetic and biological impact the project had.
A bespoke seed mix was used which was intended to mimic the natural vegetation of the surrounding landscape.
Species such as birdsfoot trefoil and yellow rattle were included to attract UK native pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
