Doctor Parking Bay

Doctor Parking Bay

Applying for a bay

For practicing GPs who have a consulting room or surgery in the borough and are required to attend emergencies regularly the Council may provide a doctor’s parking bay. We may approve and implement up to a maximum of two doctor’s parking bays outside each surgery (only one application is necessary). We will also issue a doctor’s parking permit which you must display in your vehicle when you park in the bay.

Assessment 

In order to assess your application for a Doctor’s bay an online application form must be completed, and an initial assessment fee of £100 must also be made payable by cheque to “Hammersmith & Fulham Council” and sent to:

Parking Projects
Transport Policy,
5th Floor
Town Hall Extension,
King Street, London,
W6 9JU
 
The £100 assessment fee is charged to process the application and for officers to carry out a technical site inspection. The engineer will process the payment and send out an acknowledgement letter/receipt to the applicant.
 
A Council officer will carry out a site visit and a decision will be made whether or not the application is approved. The engineer will then write to the applicant with the outcome. If the application is successful, the applicant will be required to send payment of £2000.00 in order to cover the costs of advertising the Traffic Order and installation of the Doctors Parking Bay. (This will be made payable by cheque to: “Hammersmith & Fulham Council”.)
 
Once your doctor’s parking bay has been installed you will need to apply for a doctor's bay permit.

The bays must only be used by GPs while they are working in the surgery and cannot be used at other times. The doctor’s parking permit can only be used to park in particular designated doctor’s parking bays and does not offer any other parking concessions elsewhere in the borough.
 
All such requests should relate to the doctor’s main practice and where the doctor has more than one practice, a doctor’s parking place will not be provided at more than one of them.
 
Medical professionals can apply for a Health Emergency Badge to help them park when attending emergencies instead of applying for a doctor’s parking bay. You can apply for a health emergency badge by visiting:
