Plans have been lodged to install electric vehicle charging points at a supermarket in Ulverston.
BP Pulse has submitted proposals to Westmorland and Furness Council to add eight electric vehicle charging spaces to the Marks & Spencer Food Hall car park off the A590 in Ulverston.
A design and access statement said: “The central imperative of the development, at this site and others nationwide, is part of the inevitable and essential move away from hydrocarbons into a world where net zero carbon transport is the norm.
“In, this context, the development should in principle be embraced by the local authority, as part of the overall move to a zero carbon and emission transport future.
“Further, the site as an established food store car park is an entirely appropriate location for such development, and offers the added benefit of linked trips.”
The proposals consist of installing eight electric parallel vehicle charging spaces, six with their own charger and one pair sharing a hyper charger. Plans also include adding a CCTV camera on a three-metre pole and to construct a substation enclosure.
