Plans for the first ‘electric forecourt’ in Yorkshire designed to charge electric vehicles has been withdrawn by the applicant.
Developers Gridserve last December submitted proposals to transform Diamond House and the adjacent car sales area on Henconner Lane, Bramley, into a series of electric vehicle charging stations, with new access, car parking for 35 vehicles and landscaping.
Existing buildings on the site would be demolished and replaced by new hub building, which will include retail and food and drink.
But the proposals have now been withdrawn. It’s unclear whether the developer will return with revised proposals.
A planning statement accompanying Gridserve’s application states: “The site has been selected as the first site in Yorkshire and will serve both passing traffic, local residents and businesses.
“In particular, the facility will make it possible for people living in flats and terrace housing without charging points to own and operate an electric vehicle. It will help to respond t the 2035 ban on the sale of new petrol/diesel engines.”
The development would have created nine new jobs.
The proposals can be viewed in full here.
