This is not a change in design policy. There have been several such
service areas for many years, e.g. Aust on M4 (now Severn View on
M48), Gordano on M5, Exeter on M5, in addition to Scratchwood.

Isn't Scratchwood now "London Gateway"?

And if so, why did they change the name?

And why did they change Hilton Park (M6) to (can't remember name) and
back to Hilton Park again?

Not sure about Scratchwood, but Hilton Park was due to a new company taking
over and presumably wanting to put their own mark on it. They called it
Birmingham North, even though it's 10 miles from M6 J7.
