Usually not for a normal home, but the rules are tighter in a National Park. Kit on a wall facing the road, ground-mounted panels and anything on a listed building can need consent. Check with Dartmoor National Park Authority planning before you book, not after.

Will an electrician come out to Ermington and Cornwood from Ivybridge?

Yes. Ermington, Cornwood, Bittaford, Modbury, Lee Mill all sit inside the usual Ivybridge patch, so most firms quote the same £970 typical price with no extra travel. Right out on the edges, a few add £20 to £30, so ask when you book.

Accepted Answer

Question 10

My Ivybridge new build has an electrical fault. Is it the builder's job?

Accepted Answer

In the first two years, usually yes. Report it to the developer under the builder warranty before paying anyone. After that, a local electrician is often quicker. Keep the original Electrical Installation Certificate, as it helps when anything is added later.

Question 11

Will my fuse needs upgrading for an EV charger?

Accepted Answer

Often not. A 7 kW charger draws about 32 amps, and most homes have a 60, 80 or 100 amp main fuse. The installer does a load check and tells National Grid (South West). If an upgrade is needed, National Grid (South West) usually does it free for domestic chargers, but it can add a few weeks.

Question 12

Is there a grant for EV chargers?

Accepted Answer

The OZEV grant is now only for flat owners, renters and landlords, up to £350 or 75% of the cost. If you own a house with a drive, there's no grant, so the typical Ivybridge price of £970 is what you'll pay.

Does South Hams District Council need to know about my an EICR?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. This is notifiable work under Part P, so it has to be registered with building control. A registered electrician does it for you at no extra cost, and you get the certificate within 30 days. Without it, you can hit problems when you sell your Ivybridge home.

Accepted Answer
