Amendment No.8

Amendment No.8: Amend the Electric Vehicle charging requirements

It is proposed that the Electric Vehicle charging requirements are amended in order to provide an ability to determine the initial provision of charging points on a case-by-case basis. In this regard, it is considered that the provision of EV charging points should be assessed against the relevant County Development Plan standards at the time. This enables the requirement to be reconsidered at intervals in tandem with the rest of South Dublin County. 

Amend the following text under 2.2.6 Parking

Electric Vehicle Parking 

To facilitate the use of electrically operated cars and bicycles, all developments should provide charging points for the charging of electric vehicles at a rate of 100% of the car parking provision and 10% of the bicycle parking provision. To implement the relevant South Dublin County Council Development Plan standards and reflect current national and regional guidance issued by the Department of Transport and ZEVI Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy and the Dublin Local Authority Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy in relation to charging for Electric Vehicles (EVs).
