after being told it could be fined £2,500 for not providing electric vehicle charging points. Permission was first given in 2019 for two buildings on Chapel Lane in Ravenshead to be demolished, making way for six new homes complete with garages.
The council is considering issuing a Breach of Condition Notice against the developer, which would see them being given a timeframe to install electric vehicle charging points on all of their plots. If this is not done within the timeframe, they could be fined up to £2,500.But one of the directors of DDM Homes has now spoken out against the claims made by Gedling Borough Council in its report on the matter. Danny Skillington says the company is now in liquidation.
Just two of the homes built were therefore constructed by DDM Homes, but Mr Skillington insists all the five houses initially came with electric car chargers when completed. He said: "We had people asking for the electric car chargers to be taken off because they are quite ugly things and they didn't have electric cars anyway.
"I have given him my electrician's number but the contact hasn't been made yet. I can't just walk on his property and install it myself because that would be trespassing."
