Search the Public Notice PortalPlans have been proposed for new rapid electric car chargers at a coffee shop.
InstaVolt, the UK's largest rapid EV charging network, aims to install three rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the Costa Coffee car park, located in Andover Business Park.
The proposal includes one fully accessible bay.
The new stations will be part of InstaVolt's network of over 2,000 chargers, all using 100 per cent renewable electricity and monitored in real-time for reliability.
The stations, known for high uptime and awarded for customer experience, would enhance the area's EV infrastructure, aligning with several key policies regarding low-carbon energy and sustainable transport.
In their planning statement, InstaVolt said: “Our mission is to make electric vehicle charging accessible to all and provide a best‑in‑class experience to drivers by offering the highest levels of reliability, and easy‑to‑use hardware.

“Hundred per cent of the electricity delivered to drivers on the InstaVolt network is from certified renewable sources.”
InstaVolt's chargers contribute to government strategies on climate change by helping reduce carbon emissions and encouraging the use of sustainable transport.
This proposal comes in the context of increasing demand for EV chargers in the UK, which is currently outstripping supply, a situation that, if not addressed, could lead to business disruption and other economic problems.
InstaVolt said: “There is a real economic urgency to proposals such as this. Demand is already outstripping supply because the rollout of EV infrastructure has been too slow, according to the Government’s EV Strategy.
“If after 2030 the necessary EV infrastructure is not in place, then serious economic damage will be done to the country’s economy.”
Local authorities face pressure to speed up the rollout of EV charging infrastructure.
The application says that the design and location of the proposed site ensure minimal impact while providing efficient service.
It benefits from safe access, along with established footpaths and dropped kerbs for easy pedestrian access.
The application was received by Test Valley Borough Council on Monday, December 22, with a determination deadline set for Wednesday, March 11.
