DLBP is delighted to have secured its first planning permission for our client, LEAP24.
This permission allows for the construction of an electric vehicle charging station to serve six parking bays on a currently vacant site in Pinner, near numerous shops and a GP surgery.
Working closely with LEAP24, TSG Group and Pulsar Transport Planning, DLBP provided advice throughout the design process to help establish suitable site access arrangements and the proposed layout for the charging bays. DLBP also liaised closely with Tyler Grange to assess the potential impacts of the charging station on the surrounding trees.
Alongside this, DLBP prepared a detailed Planning Statement to communicate the wider sustainability benefits of the scheme to the Council (London Borough of Hillingdon). This included details of the proposal’s contribution to achieving zero-carbon targets in London by 2050, as well as promoting the uptake of low-emission vehicles across the Borough. DLBP also carefully assessed the character of the site and surrounding area to justify that the design of the proposal would be in keeping to its setting.
Following submission, DLBP worked closely with the Council, ensuring no objections were raised by statutory consultees and providing all necessary additional information to achieve a positive outcome.
DLBP is now assisting LEAP24 UK in discharging planning conditions associated with the recent permission so that it can start work on site as soon as possible.
We look forward to seeing the site become fully operational very soon and are excited to continue working with LEAP24 as it continues to roll out new charging stations across the UK as leaders in the EV revolution!
