Purpose: To expand the options available to residents and encourage the transition to zero-emission vehicles, the appended policy statement has been drafted to provide a means by which residents may be able to charge their vehicles from home without access to off-street parking. This will provide a potential interim solution for home vehicle charging while other projects come to fruition.

Content: The Cabinet has considered a report detailing a proposal policy statement that would open permission for residents to charge an electric vehicle from on-street by way of a charging cable and cable mat, subject to conditions, and has then approved and adopted the Home Charging Policy Statement.

Alternative options considered: None.
