The company that owns land near the M25 Cobham, where a proposed service station is set to be built, has been forced into administration.

Swayfields Limited and Swayfields Extra MSA Holdings, which secured planning permission to build the service station in 2005, went into administration on Friday, March 5.

But administrators Ian Green, Rob Hunt and Ed Macnamara of PricewaterhouseCooper LLP, said the latest development would not affect the plans - which also includes shopping, a hotel and a 721-space car park.

Elmbridge Council and residents opposed the application in 2005, but secretary of state at the time John Prescott gave the controversial plans the go-ahead.
