Short notice applications
An extra charge of £408 per application applies if you request a suspension for permit bays with 5 working days' notice.
This charge:
- is a one-off fee
- is non-refundable
- applies in addition to the suspension fee
- is only available at our discretion
Fee examples
If you want a suspension for 3 chargeable days and for 2 spaces, calculate as follows:
- 3 days x £82 = £246 x 2 spaces = £492
If you want a suspension for 7 chargeable days and 1 space, calculate as follows:
- 5 days x £82 = £410
- 2 days x £123 = £246
Total cost for 7 days = £656 for one space
Additional charges for filming
Film parking requests that need more than 4 parking spaces are subject to an additional handling charge from the Borough Film Office.
Check the Borough Film Office for details
Payment deadlines
When we approve your application, we'll send you an invoice.
The invoice will tell you:
- how much you need to pay
- when we must receive payment
We must receive full payment before we can approve the suspension and install suspension signs.
If we do not receive payment by the deadline, we will decline your application.
There needs to be one clear consecutive week between the dates you need for a suspension for a second application to be treated as a new application and incur the lower charges.
