Decision details
Proposed Department for Transport Consultation Responses for Electric Vehicle Charging
Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Environment
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
Agreed submission of the proposed response to
the Department for Transport (DfT) in relation to proposed changes
to Section 48 of the New Roads and Street Works Act (NRSWA)
regarding the installation of electric vehicle infrastructure on
the network, as detailed in Appendix A of the report.
Reasons for the decision:
Although there are elements of this proposal,
which are pragmatic, there are still some aspects that require
further clarification and consider it appropriate to respond
accordingly.
Alternative options considered:
The alternative option proposed by DfT to do
nothing would result in no changes taking place, however given the
potential impact that an influx of EV Chare Point Operators (CPOs)
would have using section 50 would be a detriment to the team and
would cause delay to the EV ChargePoint operators in undertaking
their works.
