- EV Charging Hub
Aberdeen EV Charging Hub
- Aberdeen, Scotland
Project Overview:
Enzygo secured full planning permission for an ultra-rapid electric vehicle charging hub in Aberdeen.
Our planning team supported the project from its earliest stages through to determination, providing pre-application engagement, planning strategy, application management and post-submission negotiations.
The successful application established the principle of EV charging infrastructure within a Business Zone and designated Opportunity Area.
The challenge
The proposed charging hub was located within a designated Business Zone and Opportunity Area.
As this represented a new form of infrastructure within the area, the application needed to establish that the development was compatible with the relevant planning designations and would support the area’s future development.
A clear planning strategy and early engagement with the local planning authority were essential to establish the principle of development and address any policy concerns.
Our role
Enzygo provided end-to-end planning support throughout the project.
Our involvement began with pre-application engagement and the development of the planning strategy. We then managed the preparation and submission of the application before leading post-submission discussions with planning officers.
This continuous involvement ensured that the planning case remained clear and consistent at every stage of the process.
Our services
Pre-application engagement
Enzygo engaged with the local planning authority before submission to identify the relevant planning considerations and inform the application strategy.
Planning strategy
A robust planning strategy was developed to establish the principle of ultra-rapid EV charging infrastructure within the Business Zone and Opportunity Area.
Application management
Our planning team managed the application process and coordinated the information required to support the proposals.
Post-submission negotiations
Enzygo continued discussions with planning officers following submission, responding to queries and negotiating outstanding matters through to determination.
The outcome
Full planning permission was granted for the Aberdeen ultra-rapid EV charging hub.
The approval successfully established the principle of EV charging infrastructure within the Business Zone and designated Opportunity Area.
The outcome demonstrates the value of maintaining a consistent planning strategy from early pre-application engagement through to post-submission negotiations.
The Aberdeen EV Charging Hub will expand access to ultra-rapid charging infrastructure and support the continued transition towards electric transport.
The project also provides a positive planning example for introducing new EV infrastructure within designated employment and regeneration areas.
The project benefited from expertise across the following Enzygo disciplines.
