    39 Ripon Road Stevenage Herts SG1 4LN

    I am looking to install an EV charger at my house, however there are a few issues that need to be address. The first issue is that there is not a designated parking space on the road and it is a shared parking on the road. The second issue is on the side of the house, and where the EV charged will be installed, there is a hedge between the house and the parking spaces. I have had an electrician visit to survey the house and advise where the best place is to install the EV charger given the situation and he has advised on the side of the house, and to create somewhere of a path between the side of the house, through the hedges, to the parking spaces. I have uploaded a number of pictures to illustrate the challenges. On the first picture, with the red circle, this shows where the EV charger will be installed, and the hedges that are on the side of the house. The picture also shows the distance between the side of the house and the parking spaces. The second picture shows the hedges that are in front of the side of the house where we would like to create a pathway. Could you please advise the feasibility and possibility of creating a pathway through the hedges in order to have a path between the EV charger and my car and what are the next actions? I am keen to open a dialogue to find the best way to get an EV charger installed at my house

    17 Coopers Close Stevenage Herts SG2 9TL

    Proposal to install a new side personnel door (inward opening) and side window (fixed) into the western elevation of our detached double garage that directly fronts a public footpath and verge. I believe that this will not require planning consent and is PD, but am told that I should check in case Article 4 direction applies and i would need to apply for planning consent.
