Purley parking and loading arrangements

Check the usable driveway with its owner

Ask permission to use the proposed private position and give the vehicle opening, clearance and space required for entry and exit. Identify any gate contact and fixed obstruction. Do not assume an existing drive is suitable for the allocated vehicle.

Then describe the carry from that position to the door, garage or rear store. Steps, a gradient or a garden gate remain relevant even when the vehicle can stand off the road. Keep the pedestrian route and vehicle manoeuvring information separate.

Identify the restriction at the street alternative

If loading is from the road, record the actual position, current signs and responsible authority. Croydon’s current guidance distinguishes a yellow-line dispensation from a parking-bay suspension and states that requests are subject to availability.

Use the applicable process for the precise location rather than treating the two arrangements as interchangeable. Retain the accepted outcome and conditions. If another authority controls the proposed stop, use that controller’s instructions.

Connect the position with release and receiving admission

Confirm who opens the home, garage and any side gate throughout collection. If a different lawful position is needed, report the new carry and any extra turns or levels before relying on the original brief.

At delivery, check the vehicle position and property admission independently. For a storage unit, obtain the facility vehicle entrance, authorised contact and agreed unloading arrangements. A collection driveway agreement does not establish receiving access.

The van uses the road rather than the drive

Hypothetical example: a Purley occupier finds that the proposed driveway entry is unsuitable for the planned vehicle. They establish a lawful road position and describe the longer carry to the house and garage.

The customer reports that route and confirms the applicable street arrangement before collection. The receiving contact separately checks admission and the full carry into storage.

Keep a position-and-carry record

• Proposed private position, permission and vehicle clearance.
• Actual public-road alternative, signs and controller.
• Applicable confirmed restriction arrangement where needed.
• House, garage and gate opening contacts.
• Full remaining carries and receiving admission.

The London access guide covers the wider plan. Check furniture passage separately and coordinate the whole moving window.
