EV charging provision as part of new build planning permission?

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?

  • They will want to charge at home because it is considerably cheaper.   The average consumption of all the cars in the country is not a diversity you can apply to a single street supply Andy. Everyone in some streets tends to be salesmen who drive a couple of hundred miles a day at maximum speed. That is why the infrastructure costs must be included, because the moment it doesn't work the builder is in trouble for non-compliance with the planning conditions.This is a serious charge and could result in him having to update everything at his cost. If I was buying one of these houses I would want a guarantee of adequate supply before parting with my money, as would anyone else buying a "Green" house, probably including a maximum amount of heating energy required.
