Trivia and History

The forecourt, pictured in 2018.

Outline planning permission for a filling station here was first submitted and granted in 1982. There were plans to add a restaurant to the proposal in 1988, but this was refused permission.

The filling station was eventually built and opened as a Shell site in around 1991. A through road connecting to the Hop Oast park and ride site was later added.

Shell redeveloped the forecourt in late 2019, removing the car wash and adding a new, larger sales building with a Little Waitrose offering. A Shell Recharge electric vehicle charger was added to the site as part of the works, but this has since been decommissioned due to power supply issues.

Although the site is only signed when heading southbound, it is accessed from the northbound side using the Hop Oast Roundabout. A signed alternative for northbound traffic is also available further north on the A24 at Broadbridge Heath, but it also requires a detour.
