Visitor e‑permits (virtual visitor vouchers)
- Virtual visitor vouchers (e-permits) can be purchased online by any resident for the estate they live in. Each household can be issued a maximum of 200 permits per year, although extra permits may be issued in exceptional circumstances.
- To apply your permanent address must be within the boundary of a Lambeth Housing Management enforced estate (TMO).
- A visitor e-permit allows the holder to park a vehicle only in authorised areas on the estate, however the council cannot guarantee the availability of a parking space.
- A visitor’s vehicle may not exceed 2 metres high, 1.83 metres wide or 4.8 metres long without the written permission of Lambeth Housing Management.
- Visitors are only permitted to park within the boundaries and sign code of the enforced housing estate (TMO).
- Lambeth Housing Management or its contractors reserve the right to remove vehicles which do not have valid vehicle tax and/or are classified as abandoned. This includes SORN vehicles which do not have written permission from Lambeth Housing Management to park on the estate.
- Virtual visitor vouchers are not transferable
- Virtual visitor vouchers are valid for one day only.
- Virtual visitor vouchers do not guarantee a parking space.
- Virtual visitor vouchers can be used in parking bays.
- The use of parking spaces may be suspended by the police or duly authorised council officers. We will try and give notice of suspensions; however this may not always be possible.
- Breach of Lambeth Housing Services “conditions of use” for scratch cards may result in one or more of the following steps being taken:
- issue of a warning detailing the nature of the breach
- issuing of a penalty charge notice (PCN), relocation of vehicle and removal of vehicle for repeated penalty charge notices
- prosecution under the Fraud Act 2006
- You do not need to be the vehicle owner to purchase virtual visitor vouchers on an estate.
- Residents or members of their household who have a Blue Badge are entitled to a free annual estate parking permit but must display their Blue or White Badge with the parking permit.
- Visitors with a Blue Badge can use it as they would with street parking and can park with their Blue Badge and a timer (limited to two hours). If Blue Badge visitors want to stay for longer than this, a visitor’s permit must be purchased for them.
- Virtual Visitor Vouchers cannot be issued if:
- the person residing in the property cannot be verified
- the person residing in the property cannot provide documents from the prescribed list
- fraudulent documents are submitted
- visitor vouchers have been used fraudulently
