Start with the proposed vehicle position, then connect it to the door or gate used by each group of goods. A private entrance and a street dispensation settle different parts of the collection.

Check the actual street stop and responsible authority
Record the precise vehicle position, current signs and restrictions rather than asking only whether parking exists on the road. Include the carry to the household entrance and any separate garden passage. Check delivery independently, including a storage facility’s vehicle entrance where relevant.
Use Enfield’s current suspensions and dispensations guidance for council-controlled restricted positions. It identifies a temporary dispensation for moving house. Check applicability with the council and obtain the outcome for your actual date and location.
Keep the dispensation distinct from an available space
Enfield states that a temporary dispensation does not guarantee a parking spot. Keep that practical limit in the plan: confirm the actual lawful position available for loading and report a different position if the remaining carry changes.
Retain the council’s conditions and vehicle instructions. If the allocated vehicle details are needed, coordinate them through the booking arrangements. Do not assume that an application or nearby space confirms the proposed stop.
Confirm the gate, driveway or residential door separately
If a drive is offered, ask its owner about permission, usable clearance and vehicle access. For outside-store goods, confirm the side gate and passage may be used and who keeps them open. Record the pedestrian carry even where the vehicle cannot enter.
At an Alderman’s Hill flat, ask for the actual residential door and keyholder. A shop’s public opening hours do not establish residential admission. At storage delivery, confirm the facility entrance and authorised receiving contact independently.
A lawful alternative changes the garden carry
Hypothetical example: a Palmers Green customer obtains the applicable street arrangement but finds the proposed position unavailable. They identify a lawful alternative and tell support the new distance from the garden passage.
The occupier separately confirms the gate and house door, while the recipient keeps the agreed receiving access. The collection plan reflects the actual carry rather than assuming the dispensation reserves a doorstep space.
Keep a stop-to-entrance arrangement sheet
- Exact lawful vehicle position and relevant signs.
- Responsible authority and confirmed arrangement where required.
- Vehicle instructions and lawful alternative.
- Driveway or gate permission, clearance and opening contact.
- Household, outside-store and receiving admission.
Use London access guidance for the broader plan. Check the furniture passage separately and align admission with the moving window.
Common questions
Does an Enfield temporary dispensation reserve a space?
The council says it does not guarantee a spot; establish the lawful position and report any changed carry.
Can goods use the side passage because a driveway is available?
Confirm the passage permission and usable opening separately from vehicle access to the drive.
