ER Estate Review For local authorities EV Site Planner · per-authority licence

Does your charging estate still meet the standards it was funded against?

Most council estates were installed at pace, across several funding rounds, and the rules arrived mid-rollout: PAS 1899 (Oct 2022), then the Public Charge Point Regulations (Nov 2023–25). Estate Review surveys every site against every live framework and turns the result into the documents funders, auditors and members ask for.

The cost of not knowing · these liabilities exist whether or not anyone has looked
£10,000
Maximum civil penalty per non-compliant chargepoint under the PCPR 2023. Enforcement is complaint-led: the first notice arrives unbudgeted.
Clawback
ORCS and LEVI money is conditional. Conditions nobody can evidence become due-diligence findings that stall or sink the next award.
Uncapped
Equality Act claims have no upper limit. The defence is a s.149 due-regard record; most estates predate PAS 1899 and hold none.
Call-out rates
Defects found by complainants are fixed one visit at a time. Found in survey, the same works price as one programmed package.
What you get
●The check library. Payment, electrical, accessibility, highways and grant conditions: 56 checks, each with a plain-English explainer, exact citation and costed rectification guidance, version-controlled for specialist sign-off.
●Guided walkthroughs for first-time surveyors and fast checklists for repeat visits, with applies-to logic per site type: lamppost, pillar, car park, rapid hub, depot.
●Tiered evidence capture. Notes on every shortfall, photos on every fail, measurements where a threshold applies, and a recorded reason on everything that does not apply.
●Contractor mode with sign-off. Assign sites to your surveying contractor; their evidence returns to an officer for approval before it enters the estate record.

Sample finding FAIL PAY-03 Contactless not fitted on 22 kW pillar units · PCPR 2023 reg. 5 · photo attached · rectification costed and programmed, batch 2 of 3
1 · REVIEWED
Every site surveyed against every live framework, including the ones nobody complained about.
2 · CONSIDERED
Each requirement assessed to an adequate level, with a recorded reason where one does not apply.
3 · RECTIFIED
What fell short is fixed or programmed, with a cost and an owner against every item.
Why evidence it here, not in a spreadsheet: every check carries its exact citation · evidence rules are enforced as you survey (notes on shortfalls, photos on fails, recorded reasons on N/A) · contractor submissions return through officer sign-off · all four documents compile from the same record, so the survey and the defence are one job, not two.

Frameworks: Public Charge Point Regulations 2023 (DfT/OPSS) · PAS 1899:2022 (BSI) · BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 · Equality Act 2010 · NRSWA, TSRGD, RTRA · grant agreements as filed. Estate Review assists review and evidences consideration. It is not a certification; findings requiring professional judgement are flagged for verification by suitably qualified specialists.
