10.12 Policy TRAN8 (Planning for Low Emission Vehicles) requires developments to include 'adequate provision' for charging infrastructure. Whilst Taylor Wimpey is supportive of the transition towards electric vehicles (EVs) and the provision of EV infrastructure, it is considered that 'adequate provision' is vague and not clear and therefore does not accord with the requirements of with Paragraph 16 d of the NPPF ("Plans should contain policies that are clearly written and unambiguous, so it is evident how a decision maker should react to development proposals."). If it is the expectation that all development should include EV charging infrastructure, then Policy TRAN8 should be explicit that that is the case.
