These Terms and Conditions govern your use of EV Council Check. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these terms. Please stop using the website if you do not agree with them.
1. About EV Council Check
EV Council Check is an independent information website that helps visitors find information about UK local council policies relating to cross-pavement electric vehicle charging solutions.
EV Council Check is not a local council, government department, highways authority, planning authority, regulator, electrical contractor or legal adviser.
2. Informational purpose
The website and council checker are provided for general informational purposes only. Information displayed on this website does not constitute legal, planning, electrical, installation, financial or other professional advice.
You must verify the latest requirements directly with your local council and any other relevant authority before purchasing equipment, applying for permission or arranging installation work.
3. Council information
We make reasonable efforts to research and maintain council records. However, council policies, application processes, eligibility rules, fees and technical requirements may change without notice.
The date marked “Last reviewed” indicates when we last checked a record. It does not guarantee that the council has not changed its policy since that date.
Information published by the relevant council or public authority takes priority over information displayed on EV Council Check.
4. Your responsibilities
When using this website, you agree that you will:
- Use the website only for lawful purposes.
- Provide accurate information when contacting us.
- Check official council information before taking action.
- Obtain any required permission, approval or professional advice before installing an EV charging solution.

6. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the original website design, branding, explanatory content, database organisation and other original materials created for EV Council Check belong to EV Council Check or its respective licensors.
Council names, government information, trademarks and third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners. Their inclusion does not suggest sponsorship, approval or endorsement.
You may view and print reasonable extracts for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, sell, commercially exploit or systematically extract our original content without prior written permission.
7. External websites
The website contains links to council websites, government services, application pages and other third-party resources.
We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability, content, accuracy, security, privacy practices or subsequent changes. You access external websites at your own discretion.
8. Advertising
EV Council Check may display third-party advertising, including advertisements provided through Google AdSense.
Advertisements do not constitute a recommendation, guarantee or endorsement by EV Council Check. Advertisers are responsible for their own claims, products, services and websites.
Your interaction or transaction with an advertiser is between you and that advertiser. You should review the advertiser’s terms, privacy information and product details before making a purchase or providing information.
9. Affiliate links
The website may introduce affiliate links in the future. If you purchase something through an affiliate link, EV Council Check may receive a commission without increasing the price you pay.
Affiliate relationships will not change our responsibility to present information clearly, and relevant commercial relationships will be disclosed where appropriate.
10. Website availability
We aim to keep the website available and functioning correctly. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or permanent availability.
We may temporarily restrict, suspend, update or withdraw parts of the website for maintenance, security, technical, operational or legal reasons.
11. Limitation of responsibility
You remain responsible for checking official information and obtaining appropriate professional advice before making legal, property, purchasing, installation or financial decisions.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, EV Council Check is not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on outdated, incomplete or inaccurate information where the latest information was available from the relevant council or authority.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or affects any mandatory rights available to you under applicable law.
12. Privacy and cookies
Our collection and use of personal information are explained in our Privacy Policy. Information about cookies and advertising technologies will also be provided through our cookie notice and consent-management system.
13. Reporting errors
Please contact us if you believe a council record is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Include the council name, the information in question and, where possible, a link to the relevant official source.
We may investigate and update reported information, but we cannot guarantee a particular response time or outcome.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms and Conditions when the website, services, advertising arrangements or applicable requirements change.
The updated terms will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use of the website after an update means that the new terms apply to your subsequent use.
15. Severability
If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
