Navigating the Requirements for Electric Vehicle Charging Point (EVCP) Provision

The Brookbanks Difference / News / Navigating the Requirements for Electric Vehicle Charging Point (EVCP) Provision

Are you struggling to understand your Electric Vehicle Charging Point (EVCP) requirements?

Helpfully, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has released new FAQs, with some worked examples to explain!

Here at Brookbanks, we can help advise you with our bespoke Sustainability and Energy Statements that include information on EVCPs, and bring together other reports that highlight the credentials of your scheme. We’ll work closely with your planners, master planners, ecologists, and building design teams to ensure everything is properly considered.

We can also advise on electricity demand, connections, and upgrading works, using our substantial experience dealing directly with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and Independent Distribution Network Operators (IDNOs). We will be there every step of the way to ensure the right capacity is delivered on time and on budget.

Please contact Richard Boyle for further information.

Their session looked at the real‑world challenges that commonly appear between early drawings and activity on site. Ryan and Toby shared their experience of how early awareness, clearer coordination and the right conversations at the right time can make a measurable difference to project outcomes.

Two Years On: Billions Still Sitting in Unspent Developer Contributions and What That Means for Developers

February 18, 2026

Two years after the Home Builders Federation (HBF) first highlighted the scale of unspent developer contributions, more than £8 billion in S106 and CIL remains unused across England and Wales, with a significant portion dormant for over five years. For developers, it raises a critical question: if infrastructure isn’t being delivered, are these obligations still proportionate or commercially justified? This article explores why the issue persists and how reviewing triggers, outdated requirements and opportunities for modification or claw-back can turn S106 from a fixed liability into an actively managed commercial tool that protects viability and unlocks value.
