Parking in Surbiton Court is extremely limited and therefore strictly controlled.
There is no residents parking in Surbiton Court.
The Board has appointed Parking Enforcement & Security Services Ltd (PESS) to issue Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) to the
owners of vehicles which contravene the parking regulations. The fine is currently £100.00, reduced to £60.00
if paid promptly. If the PCN is ignored, the fine increases to £170.00. PESS are legally entitled to pursue offenders
who fail to pay their fines through the courts, and will use photographic evidence. PESS use cameras and number-plate
recognition systems to ensure that parking regulations are complied with. An automated system sends out PCNs by post.
Once a PCN has been issued, the vehicle owner must deal directly with PESS: SCRA has no power to intervene. Please note
that the revenue from the fine goes to PESS; SCRA does not receive any of it.
Overnight parking (midnight to 0800 am) is not permitted anywhere in Surbiton Court.
The Forecourts (outside the Inner Court, in front of the archways)
Vehicles are allowed to wait up to 15 minutes in these areas (in or out of a bay) for the purposes of loading,
unloading and collecting a Surbiton Court parking permit. Any vehicle remaining for more than 15 minutes in these
areas will be liable to be issued with a Parking Charge Notice.
The Parking Bays
There are four designated parking bays where longer term parking is permitted between 0800 am and midnight.
There are two bays to the right of the forecourt at the entrance to Surbiton Court (area A on the map), and two
by the south arch (area B). The map can be viewed /
downloaded HERE.
VEHICLES MUST PARK FACING THE ARCHWAYS. Each parked vehicle must clearly display a valid Surbiton Court permit in
the front windscreen, or a side window so that it is visible (in line of sight) to one of the
traffic monitoring cameras.
These bays are primarily for use by visitors, care workers, and contractors. While residents may use the bays for
occasional short-term parking, the bays are not for exclusive or continuous use by any one resident: the bays are
not to be treated as any resident’s personal parking space. Those who have garages should use them to park their cars.
‘Occasional short-term parking’ means exactly that. Residents who park in the bays for long periods or day after day will
risk having their permit invalidated.
The bays are also not for long-term visitors to use exclusively or continuously . If you have visitors staying with you
for extended periods you must make alternative arrangements for them to park elsewhere, for example, in St Andrew’s
Square. (See Parking in St Andrews Square, below.)
In addition, the bays are not for residents, their friends, or relatives to park in while they go elsewhere.
Parking is not permitted in the inner Court – only drop off and
pick up is permitted, maximum 40 minutes. Any vehicle parked in the inner Court for longer
than this, and not actively loading/unloading, is liable to be issued with a Parking
Charge Notice.
Exemption for house moves
If a vehicle needs to be loaded/unloaded for longer than 40 minutes, e.g. for a house move, the flat owner must notify
secretary@surbitoncourt.com of the vehicle’s number plate and the date(s)
it will be present in the Court. The vehicle will then be put on the exemption list and not be charged. Please allow 2 days
for the exemption list to be updated.
Parking is not permitted in the garage area at any time, with
two exceptions: the owners of Garages 1 and 10 who have the right to park in the two
spaces marked X on the map, and the owners of Garages 1-18 & 55-59 who may wash their
cars in the garage area as long as they do not cause any obstruction and are not left unattended.
Your Surbiton Court Permit
Every flat owner has been issued with a Surbiton Court parking permit. New residents (owners, tenants or sub-tenants) must
ensure that they have received a valid permit from the previous owner or their landlord and are fully conversant with these
regulations. Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact
chairman@surbitoncourt.com.
Lost or mislaid permits must be reported to the Board as soon as possible by emailing
chairman@surbitoncourt.com. Once a permit has
been established as lost it will no longer be valid. There is an incremental administration charge for replacement
permits. Replacement permits are readily distinguishable as such.
Disabled badges, photocopied permits or any form of handwritten or printed notes are not valid in Surbiton Court.
To be fair and equitable to all, the Board reserves the right to ban any resident or vehicle,
or rescind the permit of any resident who chooses to make themselves the exception by ignoring
or abusing the parking regulations, or allowing their permits to be misused. If a banned vehicle
is found parking anywhere in Surbiton Court, including the designated bays, it will be issued
with a Parking Charge Notice.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Charging an electric vehicle anywhere within Surbiton Court is not allowed on health and safety grounds.
Please observe the 5 mph speed limit in order to keep Surbiton Court safe for all residents,
especially small children and the elderly.
Residents can purchase street parking permits (and visitors street parking vouchers) for
St Andrew’s Square, and the surrounding roads, online from Kingston Council
www.kingston.gov.uk/parking.
There is an additional maintenance charge payable by the owners of Garages 1-18 and 55-59 at the front of Surbiton Court.
These garages have a separate Lease, and may only be owned or purchased by someone who owns a flat in Surbiton Court (Flats 1-69).
Garage doors must be left closed and locked when not in use.
Garages may only be used for the storage of a private (not commercial) vehicle.
Should you have any questions about the garages and the garage area please contact garages@surbitoncourt.com.
Nightingale Page Hickman & Bishop (telephone 020 8399 0061) sometimes have garages
(off Portsmouth Road) available to rent.
