Enfield Council is proposing to introduce a new Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the Lower Edmonton area, within the boundaries of Balham, Croyland and Hertford Road.
What is being proposed?
A permit parking scheme is proposed to operate from 9am to 6.30pm, Monday to Sunday to help maximise space for existing zone residents across the week. An overview is shown on the plan in the Document Library to the right.
Why is this needed?
The housing estates in the area manage their own parking permits, while the surrounding streets in the proposed CPZ face high parking demand, particularly from commuters using the station. While several CPZs already exist in the area, Balham, Croyland and the other local roads remain among the few areas with unrestricted parking. Domestic demand for parking space is prone to exceed capacity in narrow streets with closely spaced houses, creating competition for limited space.
Implementing a consistent permit system for both housing estate residents and those in nearby streets could help by deterring parking by station users, tackling obstructive parking at junctions; deterring households with numerous cars or vans taking up excessive space in the street; and clearing out abandoned or seldom-used vehicles.
Permit prices
Resident and visitor permits: Annual permit prices for an all-day parking zone, shown below, are set to ensure that schemes fully cover their operating costs. To be eligible for a resident’s permit you must live in the CPZ and have a vehicle registered at your address. Resident’s permits are limited to three per person. Visitor permits are also available for everyone living in the CPZ.
Business permits: Bays for business permit holders are proposed, with a layout and level of provision roughly equivalent to the existing facilities. Requests from traders for additional bays can be considered. In all day zones business permits are priced at £920 per year, £230 for 3 months.
Blue Badge Holders and Carers: Blue badge holders living in the zone can apply for their annual permit free of charge. Nurses etc. needing to visit clients within any Enfield Council parking zone can apply for an essential user permit, so the extended controls should not hinder care visits. Visitors providing routine care to family members based in the zone can also apply for an annual permit, as priced below.

Enfield Council is planning to introduce a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) within the boundaries of Balham, Croyland as well as Hertford Road. The aim is to improve highway safety by reducing inconsiderate and indiscriminate parking. Controlled Parking Zones can also help reduce the number of vehicles circling the area in search of parking, which in turn lowers traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution. Residents and car owners within the proposed zone would be required to pay an annual permit fee. This fee helps cover the ongoing costs of administering, enforcing, and maintaining the scheme, as is the case with other CPZs in the borough.
