A Place to Rest and Recharge
PURPOSE BUILT EV CHARGING VILLAGE
The site boasts a strategic location with significant daily traffic along the M1, where vehicle counts range from 113,000 to 130,000 depending on the direction. The site will not only serve as an area for travellers to rest and recharge but will also provide a gateway to the picturesque Derbyshire and Peak District, promoting historical attractions and the Mining heritage trail to visitors unfamiliar with the local history.
COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY
The proposal will be the UK’s first full-service facility targeting zero-emissions. Featuring 100% green energy solutions, a farm shop offering fresh produce, café/restaurants, hotel and leisure facilities, all set in a serene environment. It provides a much-needed respite for travellers, complete with charging stations, coffee, food, and essential amenities along this busy route.
With a vision for a beautiful tranquil facility, the spacious, green landscape includes a trim trail, heritage interpretation boards, play areas and picnic benches, making it an ideal stop for those seeking a natural break in their journey. A Future-Ready Site with Strong Local Benefits
“This is about respecting the past while building for the future. The Twin Oaks site has always been a place of work, rest, and travel. We’re proud to give it new life as a clean energy hub that continues that legacy - but with a zero emissions target.”
Spokesperson for the developers.
