Plans for a new electric vehicle charging zone and jet wash bays in the car park at Kirkstall Morrisons have been approved by council planners
Applicants Motor Fuel Group have received permission to remove 31 parking spaces in the car park and replace them with eight bays powered by four new electric vehicle chargers. Three new jet wash bays will be added.
There would be a reduction of 19 parking spaces if the proposals were approved.
A council planning officer’s report approving the proposal concluded: “The proposal is not considered to have a significant detrimental impact on amenity nor contribute toward flood risk within the area or down stream.
“The development creates new electrical vehicle charging infrastructure, vehicle washing facilities and does not lead to the creation of a sensitive end use within Flood Zone 3 and is thus considered acceptable.”
The plans can be viewed in full here.
Plans for a drive through restaurant in the car park, off Savins Mill Way, were approved by councillors in October.
