When building a single dwelling it's common the the DNO "builder's" supply to be re-used as the permanent supply to the dwelling when complete - it might involve a move of the cut-out/meter at some stage, but the main cables from the street and connections into the the existing main can remain unchanged - usually with a corresponding saving in overall costs. It's unlikely the temp supply will need to be larger than the permanent one - so the initial request relates more to the final building than the builder's immediate needs. So +1 for taking to the DNO - but in the context of what will be needed eventually as well - it may well be cheaper and quicker in the long run.

Note that some DNOs offer 80A supplies as standard these days and may charge a lot more if you ask for a 100A one - just something to keep in mind if you don't really need the extra 20A.

I couldn't zoom in on the plan to see the details - but are those detached garages towards the top (North) of the plot? Just wondering if they'll need EV charge points...?

It seems that the yellow Es on the map will be the EVCPs. More detail here.

Somehow I struggle to see the tenants of such modest homes driving EVs any time soon.

I don't see why.  Assuming the stereotype older person down-sizing from a larger house, they may well have enough money for a decent second-hand electric run-around.  If they only do short journeys, it's less hassle than a fossil fuel car.

Save that they are in Wallsend, not Jesmond; and the client provides affordable homes. Any road, the Metro is only a 10 minute walk away.
