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.

Podcast #18: Design of Transfer slabs and efficient structures
June 2, 2026
As development sites become more constrained and expectations around multi-use building designs continue to rise, structural engineering choices are playing an increasingly important role in successful delivery. In our latest podcast, “Design of Transfer slabs and efficient structures,” Ben is joined by Chris Vivian and Devi Varatharajan to explore current industry trends in concrete design. The discussion focuses on how transfer slabs impact construction efficiency, carbon footprints, and why early-stage engagement is critical to optimizing building design.
Delivering Education Infrastructure: Direct Delivery or Section 106 Contributions?
May 22, 2026
Education facilities play a vital role in shaping successful residential communities. Alongside providing essential school places for growing populations, they help create well-connected neighbourhoods, support long-term community wellbeing and contribute positively to placemaking outcomes. For developers bringing forward significant housing schemes, deciding how education infrastructure obligations should be delivered is rarely straightforward. In most cases, this involves either directly delivering a new education facility as part of the development, or making a financial contribution through a Section 106 Agreement to support provision elsewhere. Each approach carries implications for cost, programme, planning strategy and the long-term success of the development.
