- V5 document for each vehicle you want to register on the permit
- your contact details

Brunswick Place (houses only)
Chester Close North
Chester Terrace
Cumberland Terrace (houses only)
Gloucester Gate (houses only)
Hanover Terrace

What should I do if I change my car or get an additional one?
Let the CEPC know if you want to remove or add a vehicle to your existing permit(s). You will need to return any old permits and provide the necessary documents relating to the new vehicles.
There is an administration fee of £10.00 to reissue a permit if you want to change or add car details.
Where does my permit allow me to park?
Your Residents Permit is only valid for your terrace roadway. It is not valid for the Outer Circle Pay & Display or in any other terrace.
How many cars can I have on my permit?
Each permit can have up to six car registration numbers on it allowing any of the cars listed to use that permit, however you may only park one car per permit at a time. Permits are not transferable to vehicles whose registration is not printed on the permit.
Where do I display my permit?
Parking permits must be prominently displayed in your vehicle’s front windscreen, in a way that allows all parts of the permit to be easily read from outside the vehicle. If the details on your permit cannot be read, you are parking illegally.
Are there any properties which are not eligible for a permit?
If your property has a garage but is located in a terrace or mews where the lack of space means that on-street parking cannot be permitted, you can be issued with an Identification Permit which allows CEPC staff to identify the vehicle as belonging to a resident. Identification Permits do not authorise you to park in the roadway.
Permits are not issued for any property which fronts onto a road maintained by Westminster or Camden, e.g. Albany Street or Park Road.
Where can my visitors park?
Residents can purchase scratch-card Visitors Permits for their visitors to use. They are available in 2hr and 5 hr formats and are only valid for the purchasing resident’s visitors to park in their terrace roadway. Once issued, Visitors Permits are identifiable to an individual resident and are not transferable to other residents or users. They cannot be used to park legally in other terrace roadways.

Permits must be returned to the CEPC when you move away from the estate or if you need to get a replacement.

You can apply for a replacement permit if you have lost the original one. There is an administration fee of £10.00 for new one or if you want change of car details.
