planning application
Bexley Council recently approved a planning application for electric vehicle charging facilities and a plant room in Sidcup.
Bexley Council's Planning Committee approved plans for a new plant room and electric vehicle charging facilities at a car park adjacent to Morrisons in Sidcup in July 2026. The application, a formal request for permission to carry out development work, concerned the erection of a single-storey plant room and substation enclosure, alongside the installation of EV charging zones and jet washes.
This decision by Bexley Council's Planning Committee followed a previous permission for a similar scheme at the same location in 2024. The current application specifically sought an alternative layout for the proposed electric vehicle charging facilities and jet washes.
