As the council is the property owner you will require their permission, even if permission is required if you wish to claim for a contribution towards the cost of the installation through the Government backed Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme, which is availablr to landlords etc.
If yoy have designatated off street parking – permission will only be granted if you already have a dropped kerb and hardstanding.
If you live in a Flat – Permission will unlikely be granted, because you need legal entitlement to a parking space and charging cables cannot be placed over public land.
Your council will also require, that the charger needs to be as close to where you normally park your car as possible. The charger cannot face the highway or be within two metres of it. The electrical supply to the charger, will require a dedicated connection to your homes consumer unit and any upgrade work work to faciliate the connection must only be allowed having granted your councils permission.
Unless you are allocated a charging bay Ohme’s contractor or any other contractor for that matter won’t install a charger without express permission from the council. Equally no charge point installer will allow you to run cable over public land, without permission from the landowner and/or Highways department.
You would have to agree with the council to have the supply cable to the charge point, to be buried under any public land. You will then require a post to mount the chargepoint to next to a dedicated parking bay, which the council has not provided. If the vehicle charging cable crosses a public footpath, the council would have to agree the fitment of something like Kerbo to be installed at your cost. The cost involved even with a dedicated parking space for this work, would be far from cheap!
The law will change in a matter of years, where landlords have to provide tennant charging, unfortunately we are not at that point yet. Councils, HA’s and private landlords will wait to the last minute, when it eventually becomes law.
