The service station has been described as “sustainable” by Moto, who intend to use a site to the South East of the carriageway.
Besides the aforementioned 62 HGV parking spaces, Moto has plans for 50 EV chargers to be installed at the facility.
An outline planning application is due to be submitted to Wiltshire Council soon.
Commenting on the plans, Moto property director Jess Lockwood said:
“We recognise we have a huge part to play in reducing carbon emissions from transport and we are fully focused on reducing range anxiety for UK motorists through capacity, reliability, simplicity and charging speed. We are committed to ensuring that our proposals for Junction 16 of the M4 reflect local priorities and look forward to hearing feedback from residents and local stakeholders, in advance of submitting an outline planning application to Wiltshire Council.”
