Everyone who requires a parking space to be suspended will need to fill out an application form and pay the appropriate charges (see suspension charges).

From 27 April 2009, the tariff for suspending a parking bay increased by 2 pounds to £38.00 per bay, per day. All applications received from 8am, 27 April 2009 onwards will be charged at the new rate of £38.00. Please note that we are in the process of updating our online application process to reflect the new fee.

Please note that we do not do weekend suspensions as a matter of course. If you wish to suspend bays during the weekend, please call the Suspensions team on 020 7641 6850 to discuss.

Licences

Customers should be advised that it is sometimes necessary to obtain a licence for certain types of suspension. Examples include suspensions for:

• Skips
• Portaloos
• Scaffolding
• Fencing / hoarding

In these instances, you should obtain your licence before applying for a suspension. Go to Highways licensing for more information.

Large Scale Suspension

For a large scale suspension, you must require 30 or more resident parking spaces to be suspended.

Alternative resident parking must be provided in the case of a large scale suspension. One alternative resident parking space will be made available for resident permit holders for every five suspended spaces.
