You’d struggle to find someone who won’t agree with the fact that we need to reduce the number of petrol and diesel vehicles on our roads. The government’s goals to reach net zero are being supported by various grants and initiatives to encourage us all buying electric vehicles.
Most recently a new building regulation known as Part S which came in on 15th June 2022, applies to all new builds and buildings undergoing major renovation.
In simplest terms, any building with more than ten associated parking spaces will need at least one parking space with access to an electric vehicle charging point; and cable routes installed to a minimum of 20% of the remaining spaces (to allow for EV charging points at a later date).
There are few exceptions, but even if you are able to avoid the required installations, you’ll only be delaying the inevitable. Forecasted EV growth is rapid. Won’t your next vehicle be electric, or at least hybrid?
For advice on navigating the changes and implications of Part S, just give us a call.
