We object to Draft Policy Direction 32 on the basis that electric vehicle charging points are already required under Building Regulations Approved Document S for all new dwellings and commercial developments. Therefore, there is no need for the duplication of Building Regulations within planning policy, as supported by NPPF paragraph 16f which requires planning policies to serve a clear purpose.
We note that the draft policy direction makes reference to the Councils’ strategy to provide electric vehicle charging points within its own car parks. We consider that this is a matter to be dealt with outside of the planning policy arena and should therefore not form part of the SWLP.
