EV charging provision as part of new build planning permission?

Former Community Member
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?

    Yes that is OK if you are in the first few in an existing street. But for a new development it will be necessary to allow 10 kVA per property at least, and that will be very expensive, just how much are 1MVA transformers, HV lines, enclosure, etc. I would expect a 500 house development to need a few million spent, that is a lot per house which the developer will have to pay. Then they should also be charged for a few MVA of gas backup, a few more million, and a new EHV line to the town from the super-grid. A few more million. Those will be mighty expensive houses, which are soooooo-green.
