Apply for a business parking permit (Twickenham Event Zone only)

You can apply for two free permits for your business, if it is within Controlled Parking Zone (R).

Before you start

This information is for new applications and renewals.

We offer additional guidance if you wish to:

• update your details; or
• cancel a permit.

Permits are free of charge for businesses within Controlled Parking Zone (R). A permit is only required on specific event days as signposted on the zone entry signs. A list of these days can be found on our Twickenham event timetable.

Permits are limited to a maximum of two per business (except when renewing permits immediately before expiry of an existing permit) and are valid for 12 months.

Should your application be refused we will contact you to let you know why.

Business permits are issued to provide businesses with a parking facility, which otherwise would not exist. Abuse of this provision may lead to the withdrawal of any permits issued and the loss of the facility to obtain further permits.
