A Nottinghamshire council has paused plans that could have seen a developer fined £2,500 over electric car charging points. Gedling Borough Council says "further investigation" is needed on the matter after the developer concerned criticised the authority, saying he "could not understand" why there were planning to issue a fine.
The issue surrounds the building of six new homes and garages in Chapel Lane, Ravenshead. As part of permission being given for the project in 2019, developers DDM Homes were told to install electric vehicle charging points that would be ready to use when residents moved in.
Gedling Borough Council said earlier in the month it was considering enforcement action against DDM Homes after receiving a complaint not all of the charging points had been installed. The action taken could have resulted in a fine of up to £2,500.
