EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Building Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/2214) as they apply in relation to England to require the installation of electric vehicle charge points or cable routes for electric vehicle charge points when certain kinds of building work are undertaken. These Regulations also amend the Building (Approved Inspectors etc.) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/2215) as they apply in relation to England.

Regulation 2(3) inserts a new Part 9B into the Building Regulations 2010. It makes provision in relation to the operation of a new Part S (inserted by regulation 2(5) of these Regulations) of Schedule 1 (new regulations 44D to 44I). New regulation 44J provides for the minimum standards of an electric vehicle charge point. New regulation 44K provides for the interpretation of Part 9B of, and Part S of Schedule 1 to, the Building Regulations 2010.

Regulation 2(4) adds a new regulation 56 to the Building Regulations 2010 to make provision for the review of Part 9B of, and Part S of Schedule 1 to, those Regulations.

Regulation 3 amends regulation 8(1)(a) of the Building (Approved Inspectors etc.) Regulations 2010 to require approved inspectors to ensure that the requirements in new regulations 44D to 44J of the Building Regulations 2010 are complied with in building work covered by an initial notice.

Regulation 4 makes transitional provision for the amendments made by regulations 2 and 3 so that those amendments do not apply in relation to building work where a building notice or an initial notice has been given to, or full plans have been deposited with, a local authority before 15th June 2022, provided that the building work is started before 15th June 2023.
