Parking on housing estates

Controlled parking schemes

Estate Controlled Parking Schemes only operate on council estates managed by Homes for Haringey. A yellow notice board at each entrance of an estate tells you if it is part of an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme. To park on an estate with an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme you will need a valid permit.

Estate Controlled Parking Schemes operate at flexible times. There are separate event day restrictions for estates near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. For details check the yellow notice boards at the entrances of estates with an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme. 

If your estate currently does not have an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme, then Haringey Council can consider introducing one at the request of residents.

  • To apply for an Estate Controlled Parking Scheme, please call our Customer Services on 020 8489 5611.
