As of Thursday, May 29 this year, businesses and drivers no longer need to submit planning applications to install EV charge points — at home, at work, or in public spaces.
This is a significant step forward in the UK’s EV rollout. The Government’s new rules are designed to speed up installations, reduce costs, and cut red tape — making it easier for everyone to make the switch to electric.
🔌 What this means for you:
Faster and cheaper installation of EV chargers
No planning permission required for most locations
Boost in public, workplace, and residential charge points
“We’re cutting down on paperwork to power up the EV revolution,” said Roads Minister Lilian Greenwood.
“This practical change will save months of delays, reduce costs, and accelerate the delivery of the rapid charging hubs drivers need,” added Lewis Gardiner, Osprey Charging Network.
At AMP EV, we’re ready to help commercial and fleet operators make the most of these changes. Whether you’re electrifying a workplace car park or scaling up public access charging, now is the time to act.
