Do I need planning permission for an Electric Vehicle charging point?

The planning rules for installing charge points will depend on whether the dwelling has off-street parking or on-street parking.

Off-street parking:

  • You will likely be able to install a home charger under permitted development rights.
  • This may change if you live in a conservation area or in a listed building.

On-street parking

  • Permitted development rights do not extend to on-street parking. In these circumstances you will be required to apply for planning permission.
