CALA Homes (East) has reached an agreement with BP Pulse to create a new electric vehicle supercharging hub and fuel filling station alongside commercial space for a food retail outlet and restaurant.
Forming part of the Bridgewater Village, positioned between the approaches to the Forth Road Bridge and Queensferry Crossing, the hub has been tipped to provide a boost to the area, creating new amenities, car charging infrastructure and jobs.
The deal coincides with Cala lodging detailed plans for the final phase of the residential portion of the Queensferry development, which includes 217 homes, 25% of which will be allocated as affordable housing.
Derek Lawson, strategic land director at Cala Homes (East), said, “This agreement with BP marks a significant step forward for the commercial component of Bridgewater Village. It will be an excellent resource for those living here and the wider community, and ensures that the masterplan development forms a positive extension of Queensferry, with a broad mix of new homes complementing the commercial elements.”
The masterplan features a total of 980 homes across multiple phases. The site includes provisions for a care home, a new primary school, and landscaped green spaces, including a village green.
Meanwhile, Cala Homes has launched sales for the first phase of Rosebury Wynd, with a trio of showhomes set to open.
