Plans have been submitted to demolish a bungalow and build an electric vehicle charging centre near Hatfield.
The proposal, made by Motor Fuel Group, would see a bungalow and car wash, off Bell Bar's Woodside Lane and the Great North Road, knocked down, making way for an EV charging hub, with a canopy, three jet wash bays, sub-station enclosure, plant room.
The proposal also includes plans to change a vehicle workshop to an EV testing facility with associated forecourt works.
"Motor Fuel Group is the UK's largest independent forecourt operator with over 900 sites offering a dual- fuel strategy, convenient retail and food to go," the application reads.

"The Motor Fuel Group are looking to roll-out an extensive supply of EV charging facilities at existing and new service stations across the UK to diversity their existing offer, with the aspiration to make it as easy to charge your vehicle as re-fuelling with petrol or diesel.
"The aspiration of Motor Fuel Group is to provide access to convenient and affordable charging, regardless of where the driver lives.
"The Bell Bar Service Station, located on the Great North Road provides an excellent location to provide these new and essential facilities."
