Shell UK has asked for permission to make more changes to its designs for a revamp of its Hatton petrol station.

Last year the company was given planning permission to demolish and rebuild the current sales building at its Hertford Hill site, and to build a new EV charging "hub".

Since then Shell has already modified these plans to move the sales building away from the nearby canal.

And now a fresh application to Warwick District Council has asked for more design changes.

If approved, the updates would see the designs for the kiosk changed again, and an extra two EV charging spaces included.

“A further design review has been undertaken, and it has been decided to amend the EVC provision and increase it from four EVC bays to six bays to better meet the changing needs of motorists," the plans said.

"The provision of EVC is supported by national and local policy including through the provision of permitted development rights for installation of EVC in existing parking spaces."

Shell - which claims there are 30,000 fewer petrol stations nationwide compared to 60 years ago - said the project reflects the rising demand from customers.

"Fewer service stations are serving more motorists," the original application said. 

"As a result, those individual service stations which remain and any new facilities are becoming increasingly busier, experiencing a greater volume of visitation rates and a greater throughput of fuel and are, thus, being made to work much more intensively."
