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?

    Although it could be argued that a large estate with many EV's charging is also a very effective energy storage device


    It's probably not beyond the wit of man to set up a local wi-fi node that could be modulating (or even suspending) charge rate at times of peak consumption  - and a lot of fully or partly charged cars is also a pretty good tool for smoothing the local grid if all those Heat pumps are cracking away on a cold night


    Obvs as new builds they will have exemplary values of thermal insulation and airtightness so moving the energy from gas to a green(er) grid probably isn't as dramatic as might be first perceived.


    All do-able - but it does need a joined up approach to infrastructure planning over long timeframes.


    Of course, Coronavirus might just dip us into a dystopian world where the lucky few will be surviving on small gen sets looted from the tool hire companies and we'll be burning stacks of anything carbon based
