Doctor's parking permits and bays
New applications
From 1 April 2023, we are no longer offering new doctor's parking permits.
Eligibility to renew a doctor’s parking permit
If you already have a doctor's parking permit you will be able to renew it. Your permit allows the same parking privileges as resident's permits, and are priced the same. Visit the Residents' permit charges for more information.
To qualify for a renewal of a doctor’s parking permit you must:
- be a legally qualified general practitioner (GP) with your own list of patients, or an assistant or trainee GP
- provide an insurance indemnity document showing that you spend at least three quarters of your time as a general medical practitioner
- provide most of your medical services, including a full time emergency service, from a practice in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
- keep regular surgery hours on weekdays and weekends and be likely to be called away from the practice to deal with emergencies
- already hold a doctor’s parking permit or be the confirmed recipient of a transferred doctor’s parking permit
- be the main user and keeper of the vehicle and be able to drive it legally in the UK
Renew a doctor’s parking permit
Doctor's permits are valid for one year. We will review your need for a permit every time you apply for a renewal. For more information and full terms and conditions see our Doctor's Parking Guide.

Doctor's parking bays
We are not accepting any new applications for either a doctor's parking bay or for a new Doctors Parking Bay permit from 1 April 2023. You can only apply to renew an existing Doctor's Parking Bay permit.
A doctor's bay permit costs £390 a year. We charge £20 to renew any existing additional doctor’s bay permit.
If you no longer need your permit or are no longer eligible for it you must return it to us. We will only refund for the period of time left on the permit from after all permits relating to the doctor's bay are returned to the Council. We will deduct an administration charge from any refund due.
