A gully for a bin? Requested by Building Control - also question re AV car charger

[Caroline]

We are at the final completion.  The BCO has asked that our bin store has a gully?  We questioned why and he said if you wash the bins there is somewhere for the water to run away.  We live in 38 acres, with a small bit of permeable paving the rest grass, this seems strange to us, anyone else had the same request?

 

As always, look forward to you knowledgeable people coming back to me.

 

Also Car Charger, we have an outlet and an MCB marked as "Car charger" for the outlet, don't have an electric car so don't want to install charger as we don't know what one we will need when the time comes, will this be acceptable?

 

Thank you

Can't comment on the charger but the gully seems a bit ott. Never heard of that before. 

[Mr Punter]

No, push back on the gulley.  There is no reg that says you need a gulley for a bin.  For a single dwelling this is silly.

Ask him what part of Approved Doc H (assuming England) applies. New one to me.

Our BCO insisted we had the actual charger installed. She explained that she had been pulled up by her seniors for agreeing the installation wiring only on a previous project. Her private BC company wants to see the charger on the wall before a completion certificate is issued. Like the OP we have no EV.

 

The bin gulley is a nonsense, never heard of that before. Wash the bins on the grass.

Is it an MCB or an RCBO? A picture would help.
