Decision details

Having considered the proposals, the responses to the statutory consultation and officer comments,
• Approved the Implementation of 30 new EV charging points at 14 locations as detailed in Table 1 of section 6; and:
• agreed not to proceed with the installation of the proposed 2 EV points in Scotland Green, Junction Road and High Cross, N17 for the reasons set out in section 4.5 & 4.8 of this report.

It is the Council’s commitment to encourage use of electric vehicles to support the borough in delivering its carbon reduction targets and air quality improvements. The uptake of EVs is increasing and the majority of households in the borough do not have off street parking where they can install their own charging points. It’s therefore necessary for the council to provide on-street EV charging points to meet the increasing demand.

An alternative considered was to ‘not’ undertake the introduction of new EVCPs. However, this is not recommended as it would be against the Councils commitment to expand the network of charging points in the borough. It’s also the council’s policy to encourage a sustainable mode of transport to support the borough in delivering its carbon reduction targets and air quality improvements.
