Estate Permits For Businesses

Permits for business vehicles to park on housing estates are issued by Southwark's area housing offices. Find your nearest area housing office.

Each area housing office, in consultation with residents, will decide on the need to issue business permits, taking into consideration demand and the availability of spaces. A log of all business permits issued will be held at each area housing office that operates a business parking permit policy.

Who can apply for a permit to park a business vehicle on a housing estate?

• Contractors undertaking essential work on an estate on behalf of the council
• Council staff working on estates

They will only be issued to those who can prove they have a genuine need to park on the estate. The permit may be time restricted in terms of the hours or dates when it can be used where there is a high concentration of activity.

Fees

Annual permits cost £32.80 each. If you lose or deface your permit there will be an administration fee of £10 for a replacement.
