Business parking permits

If your business operates from an address within a controlled parking zone in Hammersmith & Fulham, you are eligible to apply for up to two business parking permits, regardless of the size of the business. Each permit relates to one vehicle only. 

The first permit costs £715 for 12 months or £420 for 6 months. 

The second permit costs £1,185 for 12 months or £665 for 6 months.

You will need to complete a  Business parking permit application form and supply proof of your business operation in one of these two ways:

1. A copy of your business rates bill plus two different utility bills (gas, electricity or water, dated within the last 3 months)

2. A tenancy agreement plus two different utility bills (gas, electricity or water, dated within the last 3 months).

The completed application form, copies of your proof of business operation and your payment should be sent to:

LBHF Permit Services, PO Box 60820, London, W6 9UZ 

Some frequently asked questions:

How many business permits can you apply for?
Each business can apply for up to two parking permits. These permits are intended to help you with the essential running of your business, such as deliveries and visiting clients. They are not for cheap parking for employees!

How long will my permit be valid?
You may buy a permit for either 6 or 12 months. Your permit will be valid from the first day of the month in which it is purchased and you will need to renew your permit in advance of the date of expiry. You will be sent a reminder one month in advance of the expiry date. 

Who cannot apply for a business permit?
1. Drivers of vehicles designed for more than 12 passengers (not counting the driver) and drivers of vehicles that exceed 2.28m in height.
2. Drivers who have three or more unpaid penalty charge notices, in their name or for the vehicle in the application, that are beyond the appeal stage.
3. Companies whose property is not within a controlled parking zone e.g. the Imperial Wharf development.
4. Drivers whose vehicle is not registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) within 6 months of arriving in the UK.
5. Companies that do not need a vehicle for the essential running of their business i.e. business permits are not available for use by employees to commute into the borough.
