Major Car Rule Change Applies to All Driveways in England as Red Tape 'Slashed'

  • From Thursday, 2025-05-29, England removed planning permission requirements for installing EV chargepoints on private driveways, workplaces, and public streets.
  • This change aims to address bureaucratic delays like council approvals taking up to nine months, which had hindered EV charging infrastructure expansion.
  • The government is allocating more than £2.3 billion to assist drivers, promote British automotive manufacturers, create employment opportunities, and speed up the rollout of rapid charging stations by streamlining planning approvals.
  • Minister Lilian Greenwood explained that removing bureaucratic hurdles will accelerate the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, ensuring that drivers, companies, and those interested in switching to electric vehicles have greater access to chargepoints with fewer administrative obstacles.
  • The move is expected to speed up charger installations and improve EV access, supporting the Department for Transport's target of 300,000 public chargers by 2030.
