PROJECT NAME:
Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Report
Evaluation of Potential Environmental Implications of each Strategy Modification This added text provides further insight to content from a higher-level plan that may have an interrelationship with this Strategy. This amendment does not alter the scope of the text and therefore does not introduce additional environmental effects not already considered and mitigated against in the SEA process.
Proposal
Summary of Modification
Principle 3 in Section 4.0 has been amended to include the following red text: For the majority of EV users, home charging will remain the main solution: The Cork City Council’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy will identify areas in the city where homes do not have access to a private adjacent parking space and where it is not possible to have a private home charger. The National Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy has also allowed for the shared use of domestic chargers among neighbours which could be considered for some suburban residential areas in Cork City but does not form part of this Strategy which has focused on public accessible EV charge points. Principle 4 in Section 4.0 has been amended to include the following red text at the end: In addition, workplace charging points will be provided by some employers to meet the needs of EV owners who do not have access to private driveways and the provision of such EV charging infrastructure is encouraged for new developments through development management where there is a requirement in the Cork City Development Plan that a certain number of new parking spaces are to be set aside for EV charging. The following text under "Future Charging Infrastructure Requirements" in Section 4.0 has been amended. The table following the text has also been amended to remove "Number of Charge Points" with "Total Power Output": Based on the above scenarios the following table presents an estimate of the Total Power Output based on the delivery of 44Kw per Normal Speed Stations and between 150Kw and 300Kw at Fast Speed Stations.
Principle 3
This added text specifies a focus on employers with regards to provision of charging points. It will not introduce any significant environmental effects not already considered and mitigated against in the SEA process.
Principle 4
n/a
This amendment provides technical insight to the charging stations in terms of power output, rather than just stating the number count. It will not introduce any significant environmental effects not already considered and mitigated against in the SEA process.
