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?

    The local planners will specify want they want and dependent on the site may require a number of vehicle charging points and passive provision ( cables coiled up in the ground) for future additions).


    That said I am working on a design at the moment for a church conversion to flats and an addition block adjacent. At a design meeting I asked how many vehicle charging points were going to be needed and where would they be going as I could not see any car park provision on the site drawings. I was told the planning permission was granted for a car free development only and no vehicle charging was required. 


    For one off domestic EV installs if the total demand after fitting the EV point exceeds 13.8 kVA you need to seek permission from the DNO before you start work. If the MD does not exceed 13.8kVA when the EV is installed you must notify the ENA on completion or before you start. There is a flow chart on the ENA web site that describes the process.
