The site was to be anchored by Eataly World UK and based on the original Eataly, the world’s largest ‘food theme park’ in Italy, but larger in scale in the UK.
AMA prepared the highways feasibility advice on this scheme establishing elements such as access to the A1(M) Strategic Road Network, trip generation, sustainable modes of access, parking requirements and servicing and delivery expectations.
