Temporary parking suspension

How to apply for a temporary parking suspension: for example, building works.
School Street and LTN permits

If you have a valid School Street or LTN exemption permit but have received a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), this will be cancelled automatically and you will be notified of the cancellation. If you have already made payment for a PCN received for this restriction and hold a valid School Street or LTN exemption permit, it will be refunded back into your account that you used to pay within the next few days.

If you haven’t received a refund within 5 working days, please contact the permit team via email lewishamparkingpermits@nslservices.co.uk, or telephone 020 8787 5397.

You may need to apply for a temporary suspension of parking space on the public highway in certain circumstances, for example for: 

  • removals 
  • building works
  • road works  
  • utilities work
  • special events 
  • skip
  • filming
  • local events 

Parking suspensions are indicated on streets by yellow warning boards. 

If you need to restrict the use of a location where parking is not normally subject to any restriction, or need to change the use of a location where waiting restrictions apply, you will need to contact the street works team to request a temporary traffic order.

When to apply

Please apply a minimum of five working days before the requested start date of the suspension.

How to apply

In order to submit an online application, you will need:

  • street name or postcode of where the suspension is required 
  • date and times you want to suspend the space for
  • a brief description of where the proposed suspension is located such as ‘outside number 7 only’
  • vehicle registration numbers of all the vehicles using the suspended spaces
  • method of payment of a debit or credit card 

If you’re going to place a skip on parking spaces, you will need to apply for a skip licence with a parking suspension. More information and details on how to apply can be found on our skip licence page.
