Island Communities Impact Assessment - Building (Scotland) Amendment (No.2) Regulations 2022

This document constitutes the ICIA undertaken in respect of The Building (Scotland) Amendment (No.2) Regulations 2022 as they relate to standards for the installation of Electric Vehicle charge point sockets and enableing EV infrastructure in new domestic and non-domestic buildings.  Whilst our overall assessment is that these standards will be beneficial to Island communities and that the impact will not be negligibly different from what we expect the impact to be on the rest of Scotland, we have decided to undertake and publish a light-touch ICIA to reassure those communities of our reasoning behind not implementing a different policy in the Islands.
