EV charging provision as part of new build planning permission?

Former Community Member

As per subject, I was asked this morning about the practicalities for EV provision by an electrician. Apparently, it has been stipulated as a condition of granting planning permission for some new build dwellings, so I asked for sight of this.


Whilst it is usual for the planning to seek comments from the water authority for sewage disposal, I doubt if the DNO has been consulted.


Has anyone else come across this?

    Stems from the Energy Performance of Building Directive and is implemented (or will be when adopted) by an amendment to the Building Regulations (and often misinterpreted by planning authorities)


    So basically, the Planning Authority can require them for new build dwellings as they will be covered by building regulations, substantial change of use to form dwellings or major refurbishment of existing dwellings (again via building regs)  - although that may be limited to the provision of "ducting" only to a suitable position depending on the numbers of dwellings involved


    I'd imagine that the planners have no interest in consulting with DNO's  - principally as the response isn't likely to be "on message"
