What is a parking suspension?
- A parking suspension is when a parking space or spaces are put out of use for a limited time. You may need a parking suspension to place a skip on the road or for filming needs.
They are only available where bays are marked for parking, loading, or disabled parking. The bays have marked operating times.
If you need to close or restrict any other part of the road outside of these times you will need to apply for a Temporary Traffic Order.
Parking suspension fees
Parking income is lost during the suspension. 100% of the daily rate is applied per bay, per day of suspension, plus an administration fee.
Parking suspension fees are split into two parts:
- the administration fee
- the bay day fee. These fees are scaled in line with our on-street parking fees.

What is a parking dispensation?
-
A parking dispensation allows vehicles to park on a single yellow line. They can do so for a limited time. The vehicle must be parked in a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). They must also be parked during restricted hours.
Dispensations may be granted for the following:
- building works
- glazing
- site access
- removals
- large deliveries
- tree surgery.
Either the resident or contractor can apply for a parking dispensation. In the event of a funeral where parking may be an issue, please email NRSWA@harrow.gov.uk.
Dispensations are rarely issued when:
- off-street parking such as a driveway is available
- an applicant wants to park on double yellow lines
- an applicant wants to park on zig-zags
- an applicant wants to park on a bus stop
- an applicant wants to park in a disabled parking bay.
