Representation Summary:

BE15 (now BE11) - Electric and Low-Emission Vehicles

3. Not Effective

Delivery of electric charging points is key to other sustainability and climate change policies in the Local Plan. It is recommended that setting minimum standards should be considered rather than simply reviewing the policy. The target and action should be amended to reflect this.

This would ensure consistency with paragraph 112 of the NPPF, and ECC’s proposed amendments to Policy BE15 – MM26.
