Who can apply?

If you live in a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in Hackney and are over 17 years old you are eligible to apply for a parking permit. You will need to display a valid permit or voucher to park in the residential, general and shared-use parking bays near your home within the controlled parking hours for your zone.

We cannot issue a resident parking permit if:

• Your address is not in a controlled parking zone
• Your vehicle is not registered and insured to the same address in a controlled parking zone, excluding students, hired vehicles and company vehicles where the vehicle can be registered at a different address.
• You live in a car free development property
• You cannot provide the correct documents
• You submit fraudulent documents
• You have three or more outstanding parking tickets
• Payment is refused by your bank or credit card.
• You use the permit for business purposes
• You already have a valid resident permit

How much will a permit cost me?

Permits are priced according to the engine size and the fuel type of your vehicle. In our drive to make Hackney a greener borough we offer discounts for more environmentally-friendly electric vehicles and greener fuels. Visit  the Fees and Conditions page for more information.

How do I change my address or vehicle details

With any changes to your circimstances you must resubmit both your proof of address and vehicle registration documents. Failure to do so will mean you run the risk of receiving a parking ticket. Visit the Change of Vehicle or Address Details page.

What happens if my permit is lost, stolen or damaged?

You will need to buy a new permit unless you can provide a crime reference number. With a crime reference number we will replace your permit free of charge.

Please contact Parking Services for more details.
