Emission-based parking charges

To reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve air quality, most of our parking charges are based on the vehicle’s CO2 emissions.

We have extended our emissions-based pricing structure (emissions banding) to apply to the following permits and charges:

  • All Zone Business Permits ​
  • Single Zone Business Permits ​
  • Teachers Permits ​
  • Doctors Permits ​
  • Motorcycles Resident Permits ​

We have also extended the diesel surcharge to all diesel vehicles including those that are Euro 6 compliant for all permit types. 

Charging based on emissions is expected to help reduce the amount of motor vehicle usage in Lambeth. These charges will encourage sustainable alternatives, such as public transport, cycling and walking, whilst encouraging the use of less polluting vehicles within the borough.

Emissions-based charging will support our Kerbside Strategy, Air Quality Action Plan and Climate Action Plan. These strategies will help us to become a net-zero compatible borough by 2030, reducing our carbon emissions to as close to neutral as possible.
