My bet is that Singing Kettle will beat it

That’s still a field basically? They’re in the hands of the overall site developer. Could be….a while.

Last time I checked yes.

I hope so. More options are needed on the A55 and unfortunately it seems there are no facilities at that Osprey site in the afternoon/evenings as the cafe just opens for breakfast/early lunch, which is a pretty major downside.

Sadly, planning rules give them 3 years (1095 days) to start before they have to re-apply for planning permission.

Comish team hopefully moving South from Scotland this week. Keeping an eye on Sheffield.

Still no icon on the map for Frimley...

Anyone know what ever happened to the York site? It's got so many cobwebs now. Are they fake?

Could be still waiting for the DNO to get their finger out.

Added this one to the OP….in planning. Next door to Tesla apparently.

IONITY at Doubletree Hilton, Dartford

If approved it will be the biggest IONITY site in the UK with 24 bays.

The Dartford site received planning approval today 🏆

Boxes are still there (I was there this morning) - they are really needed as the City Council hub next to them is getting really unreliable in accepting anything other than the BP Pulse app in order to work (apparently the council had (have) not paid the maintenance bill)…

Roof and a lounge!

Les Iles de Brissogne would be useful to me but doesn't look like it will be ready by the end of July when I'll be there. Fortunately there's an open Tesla SC at a local commercial centre. The Aosta to Torino autostrada itself is very poorly served.

Village Hotel updates: Swansea popped up on the Construction tracker 12 days ago (27/06/2024), and Maidstone did so today (09/07/2024).

This is great for North Tyneside which is very poorly served given the demographic and apparent abundance of EV's driving around the affluent suburbs of Tynemouth, Whitley Bay etc. If I'm being picky it's unfortunate that the Ionity site is literally across the road from a proposed EVPoint site - never rains but it pours! But for people living and visiting North Tyneside it means that if you're approaching/leaving via A19 you could charge at Wolviston MFG on the A19, via A1M you have Gateshead A1M Gridserve or Fastned nearby, and coming from or going to the north you'll have the two at Cobalt.

Had a wee check on the application here; the internal target date is Friday 12th July (12/07/2024), and the Agreed Expiry Date is Wednesday 17th July (17/07/2024). We should theoretically hear quite soon.

I think this refusal highlights a couple of the many issues with our current system.

1. Premise that the status-quo is inherently good/safe – we have absolute not relative requirements on many safety things. Requirements should be, at worst "no-detriment". For this case it might not make any difference, but the current setup could actually be less safe overall than the original plans
2. The requirement for a full resubmission for this. It should be a 'not sufficient' please update this aspect and then we will approve.

Both of these aspects create deadweight losses for all of us.

 

[WonkoTheSaneUK]

The simplest fix for Ewloe is to mirror the installation over to the side of the car park furthest from the slip road.
