Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Transport on the proposed creation of new permitted development rights.

The government recently amended existing permitted development rights in respect of electric vehicle (EV) charging points through the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) (Amendment) Order 2025.

The Department for Transport recently consulted on a series of other changes to various permitted development rights for EV charging. That consultation can be found on gov.uk here.
