A developer behind a Nottinghamshire housing project has hit back at the local council after being told it could be fined £2,500 for not providing electric vehicle charging points. Permission was first given in 2019 for two buildings on Chapel Lane in Ravenshead to be demolished, making way for six new homes complete with garages.
As part of permission being given, developers DDM Homes were told to install electric vehicle charging points that would be ready to use when residents moved in. Gedling Borough Council says it is now considering enforcement action against DDM Homes after receiving a complaint that not all of the charging points have been installed.
The council is considering issuing a Breach of Condition Notice against the developer, which would see them being given a timeframe to install electric vehicle charging points on all of their plots. If this is not done within the timeframe, they could be fined up to £2,500.
