In addition to setting out a strategy for EV charging infrastructure within Council buildings and public realm, the Policy notes the need for robust policies for EV structure in new development.
Taylor Wimpey supports the installation of EV infrastructure and notes that Part S of the Building Regulations {nfrastructure for charging electric vehicles: Approved Document S - GOV.UK} sets out requirements for EV charging in new development, with an EV charger required for every house with dedicated parking, as well as non-residential development requirements.
The policy notes the greatest challenge is installing EV charging infrastructure in existing areas, in particular this will include urban areas with terrace housing, where the lack of charging infrastructure and low-cost charging is a barrier to uptake of EVs. Any provision beyond the Building Regulations will need to be justified, evidenced and considered as part of a viability assessment.
