Overview

Delivering infrastructure demands precision and coordination. At Boulevard Retail Park in Peterborough, Moreco is bringing forward an ultra-rapid EV charging hub designed to integrate seamlessly within its surroundings.

Set within the expanding Boulevard retail park and directly accessible from the A47, the site is surrounded by national retailers, restaurants, and high footfall amenities — providing an ideal location for rapid EV charging serving drivers across the Peterborough region.

Design & Ecology Challenge

A key focus throughout the design process was protecting the existing ecology and mature landscaping on and adjacent to the site. The scheme was carefully configured to avoid disturbance to established habitats, reflecting Moreco's commitment to responsible infrastructure delivery.

This required close collaboration between our planning team, ecological consultants, and design partners to balance the technical requirements of the charging hub with the need to preserve the existing natural environment.

Planning & Grid Strategy

The site was acquired by Moreco in April 2025. Planning approval was secured in November 2025 — a considered and efficient planning process that reflected the quality of the design and technical submission.

Construction is scheduled to commence with a 12-week build programme, delivered in coordination with proactive grid planning and early technical due diligence. This ensures infrastructure works remain aligned with programme timelines and cost controls.

Delivery Programme

The scheme is programmed for completion in Q3 2026, utilising Moreco's trusted ICP and civil engineering partners to deliver a high-quality charging hub with integrated canopy and grid infrastructure.

The development will be delivered for one of Moreco's selected charge point operators and will remain part of Moreco's portfolio of strategically located EV assets. Upon completion, the Peterborough hub will expand access to reliable EV charging in the region.
