The Cabinet considered the report of the Director of Regeneration and Planning, seeking their approval for the ‘Electric Vehicle Charging Points Technical Guidance Note’ to be published on the council’s website and made a public document.

Although not yet part of planning policy, developers were urged to consider electric vehicle charging provisions into their applications. In future, when the Local Plan was reviewed, a modified version of the guidance document would form part of a policy.

It was requested and unanimously agreed by the Cabinet that the “Electric Vehicle Charging Points Technical Guidance Note” be brought back to Cabinet where appropriate, as and when the document evolves and technology progresses.

Resolved (Non-key decision):

(1) To agree the immediate publication of the ‘Electric Vehicle Charging Points Technical Guidance Note’ contained at appendix 1 to the report.

(2) That the “Electric Vehicle Charging Points Technical Guidance Note” be brought back to Cabinet where appropriate, as and when technology progresses.

Reasons for decision:

(1) To respond to a motion passed by Council for all new development to include electric vehicle charging points.

(2) To publicise the Councils expectations for the provision of electric vehicle charging points infrastructure.
