Zero CO2 emissions

The council reserves the right to check applications for vehicles with zero CO2 emissions. 

DVLA records may say your vehicle has zero emissions when it actually isn’t a zero emissions vehicle. The only zero emissions vehicles currently on the market are full electric vehicles (EV). Where this occurs, permit prices will be based on vehicle engine size.

We may apply additional price increases if incorrect information was provided at the application stage.

You will need:

• a letter from the school confirming your name, address, vehicle registration, eligibility for the permit and the school’s STARS accreditation status
• proof of vehicle

We accept photographs of documents if you do not have a scanner. 

Waltham Forest Council retains the right to carry out random checks on permits in order to check the information supplied in the application.

You'll need to:

• register to use the service
• have a debit or credit card ready pay for your permit
• have copies of your documents of proof

If you need a postal application form, or this permit doesn't meet your needs please contact our permit team by email wfpshop@nsl.co.uk or call them on 0203 092 0112, option 3 for assistance.
