<p>The National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that when setting parking standards
for residential and non residential developments local authorities will need to take
into account the need to ensure an adequate provision of spaces for charging plug-in
and other ultra-low emission vehicles. It also makes clear that applications for development
should be designed to enable charging of plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles
in safe, accessible and convenient locations.<em> <br> <br></em>The Government is
consulting on whether to introduce new building regulations requirements to set a
minimum standard for the provision of electric vehicle chargepoints in the following
circumstances, where the building has associated car parking</p><p>- when constructing
a new building<br>- when undergoing major renovation of a residential building<br>-
for existing non-residential buildings</p><p>The consultation is open until 7 October
and can be found here: (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/electric-vehicle-chargepoints-in-residential-and-non-residential-buildings"
