Controlled parking zone permits

Controlled parking zones (CPZs) are managed by Haringey Council's Parking Service and operate on public highways. If you live in a property we manage that is in a CPZ, you must follow CPZ parking rules. Find out more about Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) on Haringey Council's website.

Estate controlled parking schemes

Estate Controlled Parking Schemes only operate on council estates managed by Homes for Haringey. A yellow notice board at each entrance of an estate tells you if it is part of an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme. To park on an estate with an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme you will need a valid permit.

Estate Controlled Parking Schemes operate at flexible times. There are separate event day restrictions for some estates near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. For details check the yellow notice boards at the entrances of estates with an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme.

Estate resident parking permits

To avoid getting a parking ticket when parking on an estate with a controlled parking scheme, residents need to display a valid permit.

Important: Under the current circumstances, we have introduced temporary changes to our resident permit rules. If your permit expired during lockdown, you have until 5 October to renew your permit. 

You can apply for an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme permit if all the following applies:

  • You live on an estate which has an estate controlled parking scheme
  • You have your vehicle registered to your address on that estate
  • You display your valid estate parking permit in your vehicle
  • Your vehicle has current road tax (Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN) is not recognised).


If you are disabled, you can also apply for a Homes for Haringey Disabled Resident Parking Permit. These permits allow you to park in a disabled parking bay on the estate without displaying your blue badge.

Please note that estate permits will only be issued to vehicles with current road tax. When applying for a permit, residents need to provide proof of road tax or the vehicle make, model, colour and registration number.

Important: An Estate Controlled Parking Permit is NOT valid in a controlled parking zone (CPZ). It is only valid on the estate for which it is issued. You cannot transfer a permit from one vehicle to another and it does not guarantee a parking place.

How to apply

The permit is free of charge but you must provide proof current tax, your vehicle registration certificate, and where relevant, proof of MOT. You can apply for a permit in one of the following ways:

Road tax, MOT and Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN)

Vehicles parked on our estates that do not have current road tax or, where required, an MOT will be treated as an abandoned vehicle and removed. All our parking permits are not valid if the vehicle does not have current road tax or, where required, a MOT. This includes any vehicle with a Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN) where permission to keep it on our estate was not granted in advance.

Important: Under the current circumstances, we have introduced temporary changes to our road tax and MOT rules. 

If you want to keep a vehicle with a SORN on our estates, you must apply for our permission first. Any SORN vehicle found parked on our estates without our permission will be treated as abandoned. We only grant permission to keep a SORN vehicle on our estates in exceptional circumstances.

How to apply

You can apply to keep a vehicle with a SORN on our estates in one of the following ways:
