Godwin Developments has submitted a planning application for an ultra-rapid EV charging scheme at a roadside location in Holystone, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The proposed development, created in partnership with Applegreen Electric, is situated adjacent to the A19 and will feature 37 EV charging bays, as well as a coffee/café drive-thru store.
Designed by Saunders Architects, the proposed building has been created to promote sustainability through its environmental features, biodiversity and energy generation.
Simon Handslip, managing director of commercial development at Godwin, said: “We are delighted to be working with Applegreen Electric to transform this gateway site into a dedicated all-electric EV charging hub for Newcastle. Responding to north Tyneside’s ambitions to reduce travel-related emissions and support the transition to more sustainable modes of transportation, the scheme will deliver a brand new EV charging destination for drivers and additional amenities for local residents.
“With Holystone and surrounding areas experiencing a particular shortfall of ultra-rapid charging, this new scheme will help to address the shortage by increasing the provision of charging facilities in north Newcastle.”
Godwin’s planning application was supported by Lambeth Smith Hampton.
