Parking on Lambeth London Living estates
If you wish to park on an estate which is participating in a
parking permit scheme you must display a resident permit or a daily
visitor voucher or scratch card along with your valid tax disc or
statutory off road notice (SORN).
See estate parking permits to find out how
to apply for a parking permit.
If you want to park your vehicle on one of our housing
estates you must:
- park in marked bays (this does not include
private parking bays or public footpaths)
- display a valid tax disc or SORN
declaration on your vehicle windscreen
- display a valid permit on your vehicle
windscreen where a permit scheme is in operation.
You also must not park on double yellow lines,
crosshatched areas, grassed areas, or pavements and where you would
be obstructing emergency access areas at any time, even with a
valid parking permit.
You are required to park correctly in the assigned areas on any
Lambeth London Living estate, even if your estate is not included in the
current enforcement scheme.
If you do not follow parking rules your
vehicle could be clamped or removed.
Displaying your parking permit
You must clearly display a valid permit or scratch card on the front left of
your vehicle betwen 10am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Displaying your SORN declaration
If you wish to use a SORN declaration on any Lambeth London Living
estate you will need to apply for one from the DVLA.
Once you have received an official letter from the DVLA advising
you of the length of your SORN declaration, send a copy of this
to:
Lambeth London Living Parking Section
Hambrook House, 1st Floor
Porden Road
London
SW2 5RW.
Otherwise you may email HousingEstateParking@lambeth.gov.uk
to enquire if you are allowed to use the SORN declaration on the
particular estate you wish (as stated in the response from the DVLA
and the tenancy agreement you signed when your tenancy started with
Lambeth).
This will enable us to monitor the number of unused vehicles on
our estates that are currently taking up valuable space.
Display your SORN letter on the front windscreen of your car.
Please black out your personal details before you display it on
your car. See a sample SORN letter (PDF, 254 KB).
If you do not display this letter on your windscreen your
vehicle may be removed. We will not recognise any other notice.
Your parking responsibilities as a tenant or leaseholder
As a tenant or leaseholder you should:
- follow the parking controls on your estate
- park only in designated parking areas
- properly show your parking permit at all times
- report lost permits to the local housing office and ask for a
new permit
- report unauthorised parking to the local housing office.
Questions and concerns
If you have any concerns or queries regarding
the parking situation on your estate, please contact your local area office. Please note,
