Record the whole path from the approved stop to the goods. Public-road permission and a private gate or shared entrance are separate arrangements, each with its own contact.

Trace the actual entrance-to-street path
Confirm today’s moving entrance with the occupier. A Brockley flat may use a different route from the original house entrance, so describe any relevant outside stair, garden path, shared passage or gate conditionally for your address.
Identify the lawful vehicle position and remaining carry. If goods also leave a separate store, trace that route independently and establish who can open it.
Read the conditions for the actual bay type
Lewisham’s loading guidance distinguishes street and bay types. Its resident and street pay-to-park bay allowance is limited to continuous loading for the stated period; dedicated loading bays have their own signed limits.
Check the actual signs and any loading ban or no-stopping restriction before relying on a position. Use the responsible controller’s arrangements for a stop outside the council’s control, and check the receiving address separately.
Confirm the relevant location-specific arrangement
If a council bay must be reserved, use the current suspension process for the exact location, date, time and vehicle details. Follow the council’s directed route for an unrestricted position or a changed waiting restriction.
Retain the confirmation and check its scope. The occupier still needs to agree private access, a gate opening and a usable path to the flat or store. Use the London access guide for wider building coordination.
A signed street stop serves two opening points
Illustrative example: a customer moving from a Brockley conversion flat confirms its actual doorway and a shared-store entrance. They check the proposed street position, relevant conditions and any required council arrangement.
The customer records both carries from the lawful position and gives each opening contact the current plan. The remaining walk and outside levels enter the booking brief.
Keep one street-to-entrance access record
- Exact position, controller and signed conditions.
- Applicable confirmed permission and vehicle details.
- Current flat door and any separate store entrance.
- Opening contacts, gates and remaining carries.
- Independent receiving-position arrangement.
Connect those arrangements with keys using Brockley scheduling.
Common questions
Does opening a shared gate establish permission to stop outside it?
Confirm the public-road position and its controller separately from the occupier’s agreement to open the gate or shared entrance.
Can I assume every loading bay has the same time limit?
Read the signs and current council guidance for the actual bay type, including loading bans and no-stopping restrictions.
