Parking permit prices
The Council wants to encourage residents to choose less polluting vehicles, so we have linked vehicle exhaust emissions to the cost of parking permits. We base our tariff bands for permits on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions because all cars registered since March 2001 have official CO2 figures printed on their registration documents.
Car (and van) permits are priced according to CO2 emissions for vehicles registered after 1 March 2001 or engine size for vehicles registered before March 2001. These are shown on your Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C).
All cars registered on, or after, 1 September 2015 meet the Euro 6 standard but many vehicles registered prior to that date do not, so the owners of such vehicles will need to prove their vehicles are Euro 6 compliant.
If you are unsure whether the subsequent permit charge should be applied to your application, please call us on 020 7361 4381.

Parking permit refunds
You must return your permit to us if you no longer need it or are no longer eligible. If we find that you have kept a permit that you no longer qualify for, we may prosecute you.
We will send you a refund for any unused time calculated from the day we receive the permit in our office. There is a £25 administration charge for this service. You should receive your refund within 28 days.
If we have to request that you return the permit, you will not receive a refund.
