FAQs

Although the new development is being advertised as ‘car free’ there will be 75 parking bays. It is being advertised as car free because the planning application contains a condition that states ‘future occupiers will be excluded from any Local Car Parking Permit Scheme which may be in force in the area at any time’. This is in accordance with Policy 6.13 of the London Plan 2016 which we are required to follow as the project is funded by the Greater London Authority. 

The condition, in full, is below: 

“16. Prior to occupation, a scheme shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority describing the means by which future occupiers (with the exception of a holder of a disabled persons badge) of this development shall be excluded from any Local Car Parking Permit Scheme which may be in force in the area at any time. The scheme shall ensure that such future occupiers are notified in writing that they are excluded from obtaining a residents parking permit and have waived their rights and entitlement to a residents parking permit in any controlled parking zone in the vicinity of the development. The development shall only be carried out, completed and occupied in accordance with that approved scheme. Reason: To accord with policy 6.13 of the London Plan 2016 (as superseded by Policy T6 of the London Plan 2021) and LP23 of the Local Plan.”
