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.
On 21 July 2025, the Government’s Independent Water Commission, led by Sir Jon Cunliffe, published a landmark report proposing sweeping reforms to the UK’s water sector. With 88 recommendations spanning regulation, infrastructure planning, water quality, and environmental performance, the Cunliffe Review sets the stage for a transformation in how water is managed and governed across England and Wales.
June saw the UK housing market balancing cautious optimism with structural challenges. Government pledges of record social and affordable housing funding, a new National Housing Bank, and planning system reforms offer hope against long-term undersupply. However, planning permissions have hit record lows, Section 106 delays persist, and housebuilders face margin pressures.
In the ever-evolving landscape of UK housing delivery, small and medium-sized housebuilders (SMEs) are increasingly recognised as a vital part of the Government’s ambition to build 1.5 million new homes over the course of this Parliament. Their agility, local knowledge and design-led approach bring much-needed diversity to the market.
