A city supermarket is set for changes as plans emerge to upgrade the car park and car washing facilities.
The Morrisons store in Albion Way could undergo a significant refurb under plans submitted to Norwich City Council.
If the applicant, Motor Fuel Group (MFG), is given the green light, the existing jet washes and hand car washing facility will be removed from the site.
These will be replaced by an electric vehicle charging zone, with eight bays available for electric cars, and four new and modern jet washing bays.
MFG is the UK's largest independent forecourt operator with more than 900 sites.

The company is looking to "roll out an extensive supply of electric vehicle charging facilities at existing Morrisons sites" with the aim of making it "as easy to charge your vehicle as refuelling with petrol and diesel."
According to the agents at Carney Sweeney, the UK government is aiming to have "300,000 electric vehicle chargers around the country by 2030" but recent statistics show that, at the current pace, this is unlikely to be met.
Norwich City Council will aim to decide on the plans by December 25.
