Your practical route

What to do next in North Northamptonshire

The correct order matters: do not buy a channel or arrange pavement work before the authority confirms the route.

Wait for the household trialThe council will publish criteria, conditions, fees, licences and grants when it launches the scheme.
Check the parking positionA participating household must be able to park legally and safely immediately outside; a channel will not reserve the space.
Use the right formThe public-chargepoint suggestion form is not a way to register for a home charger or household channel. Do not submit it as a trial application.

Site and policy checks

What could prevent the project?

Likely barriers

No adopted household charging policy or open application yet
Parking farther along the kerb cannot be reached by trailing a cable
West Northamptonshire is a separate highway authority

Can I use North Northamptonshire’s public charger form for home-channel interest?

No. The council explicitly says its public-chargepoint suggestion form must not be used to register interest in a home charger or pavement channel. Wait for the dedicated trial route.
