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.

    Enfield Council is proposing a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) within the boundaries of Sunnyside Roads (North, South and East) and Leonard Road. A CPZ is a permit parking scheme that aims to help make it easier for local residents to park near to their homes. The Council is proposing a controlled period of Monday to Sunday from 9am to 6:30pm.

    We are now proposing a design for the new CPZ and welcome your comments by Sunday 22 June 2025. A map of the design is enclosed with this letter.

    Why is this needed?

    CPZs can help deliver a number of benefits. For instance, they can help improve highway safety by reducing inconsiderate and indiscriminate parking. In addition, they can lead to a drop in the number of vehicles circulating in an area looking for parking space, leading to a reduction in congestion, noise and air pollution.

    In a CPZ, residents are given parking priority over other drivers through a permit system. It deters parking by daily commuters as well as people driving from surrounding roads. Those who benefit most, car owners within the zone, pay an annual permit fee which helps cover the ongoing cost of administering, enforcing and maintaining the scheme, as applies to all other zones in the borough.

    Permit prices

    The Council’s annual prices for resident permits are shown below. The proposals do not include business permit provision. Permits are free to blue badge holders. Nurses and health workers needing to visit clients within Enfield’s parking zones can apply for an essential user permit. Visitors providing routine care to family members based in the zone can also apply for a permit, priced as shown. In other cases, a scratch card system is used to allow visitors to park in bays during the controlled period. These are only sold to households within the zone. A book of ten costs £21.
