Decision details

1.            That Hammersmith and Fulham offer free resident parking permits for fully electric vehicles (vehicles without any form of combustion engine).

2.            That the introduction of a sliding scale of permits based on the Euro emission standard of the vehicle for all resident permits, be agreed. This is detailed in Option 3 of section 5. It would mean vehicles are categorised based on a range of emissions including Co2, NOx and Particulate Matter.

3.            That the introduction of a separate Diesel surcharge to all non-Euro 6 diesel vehicles who obtain a resident permit, be agreed. This surcharge is introduced as a measure to encourage consumers to consider the environmental impact of their vehicle choices and in recognition of the substantially higher amounts of NOx and PM that diesel engines produce.

4.            That both the new permit structure and the diesel surcharge are introduced in April 2016.  Both of these measures will include predetermined charges which will increase over the first four years in order to allow adequate time for consumers to adjust their vehicle types.
