2.    the installation of 1 x EV charging point at location of parking space(s);

3.    for officers to liaise with Nottinghamshire County Council regarding options for preventing illegal parking on the pavement outside the property and for the Developer to contribute towards payment for any mitigation measures that may be subsequently introduced;
