The provision of electric car charging points, and guidance regarding its provision, as set out within Policy SP9 is supported in assisting with a reduction in the use of fossil fuels. However, the provision of electric car charging points within communal parking areas is often difficult to facilitate and manage depending upon the service and ongoing management arrangements in place. This should be factored into the policy and reference made to the provision of one charging point per 10 parking spaces on new non-residential development with dedicated parking areas ‘where possible’.
