Parking Rules

The common parts of the Estate (roads, verges, steps and pathways) are vested in the Estate Trustees and are privately maintained by the Committee. This is the legal basis for establishing regulations and for taking sanctions against vehicles that infringe our regulations.

The parking space on the Holly Lodge is for use by the authorised vehicles of residents, and their guests. The Estate has long had a policy of reducing unauthorised parking to a minimum, and there are 4 primary concerns expressed by residents:

  •     Vehicles parked on the estate by commuters during working hours
  •     Vehicles parked overnight
  •     Vehicles parked during busy weekends for access to the Heath
  •     Tradesmens’ vehicles.

At its discretion the Holly Lodge Estate Committee may grant the right to residents to park their vehicles, and those of their guests, on the estate’s roads.
Vehicles must display a valid badge at all times. Badges are valid subject to:

  • Expiry Date (if any)
  • Full payment of EMF (for plot-owners)
  • Vehicle being fully licensed
  • Vehicles being in constant use (SORN not recognised)

Please note:

  • All residents must display the HLE Parking Badge in the windscreen of their vehicles.  Only DVLA category M1 vehicles (passenger vehicles of no more than 8 seats) may hold a badge to park on Estate roads. Motor cycles will need to register with Estate office (who will notify Capital Car Parks Control, our parking management contractor) but do not need to display a parking badge.
  • Commercial or work vehicles (non M1) are only permitted during specific hours if visiting or working at a property with a Visitor’s note displayed:  Permitted times: Mon-Fri. 08:00-18:00; Sat. 09:00-13:00 and not at all on Sundays or Bank Holidays.  Emergency Vehicles are excluded.
  • Residents must ensure that all visitors, including tradesmen, place a note in the windscreen of their vehicle with the address of the resident they are visiting, date of visit and contact phone number in case of emergencies.
  • Visitors’ Notes are valid for a maximum of 2 weeks.
  • Visitors wishing to stay for longer than 2 weeks may apply to the Estate office for a temporary badge.
  • HLE does not recognise the National or Camden Blue Disabled Badges; only the HLE Blue Badge which is for use in a disabled bay.
  • Vehicles must be parked as close as reasonably possible to their property so as not to inconvenience other residents.
  • Vehicles must not park on yellow or white lines or on hatched areas.
  • Vehicles must not park in such a way as to obstruct others.
  • Parking on the ‘Crossover’ (the tarmac between the road and the pavement giving access to a property) is strongly discouraged on an aesthetic grounds. However, it is accepted that on occasions such parking is necessary and is acceptable provided the vehicle parked is associated with the property the crossover accesses as shown by the vehicle’s parking permit, visitor’s note etc.
