About

The Addendum to the Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy has been developed to address the growing demand for electric vehicle charging points within new residential developments. This is to make sure that the possible impacts of the proposed charging points, such as on other road users and the extent of the highway likely to be adopted, can be taken into consideration as early as possible.

Applicants are encouraged to follow the submission requirements as part of any forthcoming planning application. This is to avoid the need for unnecessary amendments, especially as these may pose wider implications on the application, as well as seeking the relevant approvals post-determination.
