In Durham, the historic core and the older terraced streets around it mostly rely on street parking. A charging cable across a public footpath needs the consent of the highway authority, Durham County Council, and it's worth asking before you commit to any installation.
There's an extra layer for many Durham homes: those in or near the World Heritage Site and conservation areas can face additional considerations about what can be fixed to the outside of a building, on top of the highways question. Check both before you plan a charger position.
If a cable channel isn't possible, the practical options are on-street residential chargepoints where the council or an operator has installed them, public charging, or charging at work. It's also worth checking whether an off-street space is available nearby that you could use with permission.
Newer estates in Newton Hall, Belmont and Framwellgate Moor generally have off-street parking and avoid the problem entirely. Tell us your situation in the quote form and we'll help you work out the realistic route.
