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.

The Risks Stalling Healthcare Projects There's a version of every healthcare project that looks deliverable on paper. The site sits within the right catchment. It's in the strategic outline case. The ICS has signed off on the clinical model, the architects have done something genuinely thoughtful with the brief, and the project team is cautiously optimistic about hitting the OBC submission window. Then the ground investigation comes back… or the highways authority raises a junction capacity objection that nobody reviewed thoroughly during site selection. Or the drainage strategy is finalised two weeks before the planning committee, and the mitigation required has discreetly added seven figures to a capital budget that is already full of assumptions. This might be “just how things are”, but it’s important to remember that healthcare projects carry specific consequences that a delayed commercial scheme may not have.

Mitigating the Impact of Global Uncertainty

April 30, 2026

Rising geopolitical tension does not affect development viability in isolation, but through increasing pressure on energy prices, supply chains and the cost of energy‑intensive materials. Where schemes are progressed on assumptions made under more stable conditions, these pressures can quickly challenge margins, appraisals and deliverability, particularly in a flat housing market. Our article looks at how developers can respond to build cost volatility in a more informed and proportionate way. Drawing on our specialists' experience, it explores how early coordination, design‑led value engineering and integrated decision‑making can help manage cost risk, protect scheme viability and avoid short‑term measures that compromise long‑term quality and value.
