England first country to require electric vehicle chargers in all new homes

Sep 14 2021

A 2021 legislation will be introduced by the British government which will require all newly built homes and offices to include electric vehicle chargers in England. All new homes and offices will be required to feature ‘smart’ charging devices which can, during off-peak periods, automatically charge vehicles. Electrek reported that new office blocks will need to install a charge point for every five parking spaces.

This is a world first – an initiative which will also help boost the confidence of those who transition from gas cars to overcome range anxiety. Many homes in England don’t have off-street parking or garages but the proposal is part of the movement to rapidly boost the number of chargers across England ahead of the 2030 Uk ban on new fossil-fuel vehicles. The mandate is expected to kick off in 2022.

Bungalows and roads to replace Santa Marija Estate Woodland

Sep 14 2021

The Santa Marija estate woodlands’ days seem to be numbered as the Planning Authority has approved a zoning request for a brand new road leading to six new villas in the same area. The 6000sqm of woodland, which include mature trees and an allegedly protected watercourse, will be replaced by bungalows. The project reportedly received an unanimous vote in favour by all board members of the council.

Despite being known for its ecological importance, the area has allegedly been earmarked as residential development since 2006. This means that the project is permissible. A report by the case officer labels the area as ecologically sensitive, and recommends that the trees be integrated within the development plans. With the road leading to the bungalows set to occupy over 1,000sqm of green land, integrating the trees does not seem to be possible, with plans showing the bungalows fated to replace the greenery.
