Did you know the Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy for Wales has estimated that in Wales 30,000 to 50,000 fast chargers are required by 2030, and in light of this planning policies now provide special support to allow the roll-out of suitable infrastructure to facilitate the adoption of low-emission vehicles, particularly in rural areas.

An outline planning application was recently approved in Four Crosses, Powys for an electric vehicle service station, including a drive-thru café and parking facilities. The service station will be the first of its kind in Powys, and in light of the increased adoption of electric vehicles, more and more of these facilities will be required in the near future. Full details of the application can be found on the Powys County Council website.

The above image represents an ideal location for similar future schemes, on the edge of a town. Do you have a site which you think may have planning potential to support the ongoing switch towards low-emission vehicles?
