Parking in a permit zone without a valid permit can lead to a penalty charge notice of £70, reduced to £35 if you pay within 14 days. If you think a penalty was issued wrongly, you can challenge it within 28 days. See pay or challenge a parking fine.
I’m moving house. What happens to my permit?
Email parking@larkhaven.example with your new details. If you stay in the same zone, we’ll send you a replacement permit free of charge. If you move to a different zone, you’ll need to apply for a permit for your new zone.
