Draft Development Contributions SPD - September 2022

1 INTRODUCTION

Representation ID: 10255

Received: 13/10/2022

Respondent: Mr John Gingell

Representation Summary:

Our understanding is that as of June 15th 2022, in a change to building regulations across all of England, building developers will be required to ensure electric - vehicle (EV) charging points are installed within new build homes.

To expand further, according to the Department of Transport, any new residential homes and buildings will require electric charging points installed to the development. The Building Regulations 2010 state "this approved document takes effect on 15th June 2022 for use in England," with any building undergoing large scale renovations that leaves them with over 10 parking spaces also being required to install electric vehicle charging points.

Please confirm that the above is incorporated within the draft Developer Contributions SPD in support of policy SP7: Infrastructure requirements and developer contributions of the emerging Local Plan.
