Good evening,
Apologies if this topic has been covered numerous times before - we are looking for advice about the installation of an EV Charger at our property.
Our two parking bays are set-back from our property and in order to install an EV Charger we will need to either;
a) dig under our neighbours' parking bays (this is the 'quickest' route to our parking bays) or,
b) dig under the shared-access space that enables ourselves and our neighbours to access our parking bays (this would be a slightly longer route to take for installation).
We would like advice as to whether we require any formal planning permission to undertake this work for option a), or would the agreement of our neighbours suffice - if so, what would we require from them to serve as 'formal consent'. Alternatively, are the planning requirements different for option b) or would we need to contact our Local Authority with the area being a shared access space? (Note - it is a new-build estate and we are, as yet, not certain if the Local Authority are the relevant party to contact in this scenario).
Clearly, we would like to install this without upsetting our neighbours or breaking any planning laws / processes, so any advice would be greatly received.
Kind regards,
