Broadly agree but we need to also plan how the capacity for fast charging can be satisfied by National Grid infrastructure as capacity is not there at the moment and needs addressing. (No plans for power station in South Warks in SWLP).

The 32- Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Strategy is in contradiction to the 31- Sustainable Transport Accessibility policy which is trying to reduce car dependency .

The final paragraph of Draft Policy Direction 32 indicates there will be a robust policy for the provision of EV charging infrastructure in new developments. Framework paragraph 16 f) states that Development Plans should serve a clear purpose, avoiding unnecessary duplication of policies that apply to a particular area. Electric Vehicle Charging Points, with associated infrastructure, are required under Building Regulations Approved Document S for all new dwellings and commercial developments. As such, there is no need for the duplication within planning policy and the references should be removed.

The policy does not go far enough. The policy should require all new residential properties to have sufficient charging points for the number of adult residents at the property. Similarly all commercial properties should have sufficient charging points for all its employees plus visitors. Supermarkets can play a big role in EV charging - the policy should state that at least 50% of spaces in these car parks to have a charging point - preferably free of charge.

Most people in Warwickshire DON'T have EVs. EVs are worse for the environment (arguably) than petrol cars - the whole process of making one EV appears to use as much as or more energy (& etc) than petrol cars do on a regular basis. EVs appear to be a complete con. It is surprising and disappointing that this hasn't been more widely publicised. Electricity uses up energy and resources. Councils are rushing to EV without considering these environmental costs and costs to the public. Councils are already bankrupt or almost bankrupt - we don't want or need the extra costs.

The policy direction is generally welcomed. The provision of EV charging facilities, particularly fast-charge stations, should be afforded significant positive weighting when assessing development proposals in light of the environmental and community benefits.

Part S to the Building Regulations provides technical guidance regarding charge point requirements that developers are obliged to meet. This negates the need for a robust policy on EV charging infrastructure for new developments and thus the policy should make reference to the Building Regulations instead. Further, any policy should build on the Warwick District Council Net Zero DPD, adopted in May 2024, which currently provides no specific guidance for developers in relation to the provision of EV charging points or ultra-low emission vehicles.

We support the installation of EV infrastructure and note that Part S of the Building Regulations sets out requirements for EV charging in new development, with EV chargers 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 needs to be justified, evidenced and considered as part of a viability assessment.

I agree Councils should install EV chargers in their car parks, but I can't see this being particularly helpful for people living in social housing. If that's the Councils' aim, perhaps they should think about other options. But if installing in car parks is what the Councils are best placed to do, they shouldn't over-complicate, and just do that.
