UK Lifts Planning Permission Requirement for EV Chargers
From now on, any electric-vehicle charger in Britain—whether it serves a private driveway or a 40-bay public hub—can be installed without applying for planning permission. Permitted development covers England only and off-street chargers, with size and siting limits. The change should cut months of red tape, lower installation costs and help the country hit its target of 300,000 charge points by 2030.
