Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, will the Government provide guidance to local authorities on permitting cross-pavement EV charging for residents.

The Government is working with local authorities to encourage cross-pavement solutions to support EV charging for those without off-street parking. In December 2024, the Government published cross-pavement solutions guidance to help local authorities understand what they need to consider for the roll-out of cross-pavement solutions. This includes relevant planning permissions, minimum existing standards, responsibilities and case studies from trials.
