Enfield Council is proposing to introduce a new Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) in the Edmonton Green area, within the boundaries of Sunnyside Roads (North, South and East) and Leonard 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 streets near Edmonton Green station experience high parking demand, particularly from commuters using the station. While several CPZs already exist around the station, Sunnyside and Leonard 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.

A permit system can 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: The outline plans do not include bays for business permit holders as there are very few businesses within the CPZ boundary.

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.

    In June 2025 Enfield Council engaged residents on a proposed Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) for the Sunnyside area in Edmonton Green.

    We heard from 20 people about the proposals, and the report which summarises the feedback can be read here.

    The Council has decided to proceed to statutory consultation on a draft traffic order with a revised proposal in consideration of resident feedback. Based on the feedback received, it is recommended that the proposed CPZ should be during event and match days only. The statutory consultation will be delivered in September. Residents will receive letters which will detail how to participate in the statutory consultation, and information will also be published on this project page.

    The Council is committed to Controlled Parking Zones as an important approach for managing car parking demand. CPZs help ensure that parking is allocated fairly, balancing the needs of residents, businesses, and essential services while also reducing congestion and encouraging sustainable transport.

    We would like to thank everyone who took part in the engagement opportunity on the proposed CPZ for the Sunnyside area.
