Guidance on electric vehicle charging points

With electric cars becoming more common, many residents may wish to install a car charging point on their

driveway. As installing such a unit often constitutes a change to the external appearance of the property,
Trust consent is required.

The Trust is sympathetic to such requests and will deal with applications swiftly by exchange of email or

letter. If you would like to enquire about installing a car charging point please email planning@hgstrust.org
with a photo of your house with the proposed charging location clearly marked as well as a catalogue
image of the proposed charging point and we will be happy to advise.

The most important things to consider are the size of the unit and its location. Small units in discrete
locations can be perfectly acceptable. The best location for the unit will naturally vary from house to house
but generally side elevations of houses or garages can be good locations in terms of both aesthetics and
convenience. If it is not possible to locate the unit on a side elevation, the unit may be positioned on a

discreet part of the front elevation and screened by planting to make it less visible from the street.

Owners of listed buildings should also contact Barnet regarding listed building consents.

Please be aware that the ownership of an electric car or installing an electric car charging point is not
sufficient justification for the creation of a new hardstanding that would not otherwise meet the
Design Guidance.
