New residents moving into the City of London Corporation's York Way development will not be allocated parking spaces, a decision that aligns with Islington's climate change and sustainable transport objectives. This policy, confirmed in a Housing Matters Update report, means that while existing York Way residents will retain their current parking arrangements, new tenants from Islington will not receive parking permits.
This approach reflects Islington's policy position that parking is not provided with new build homes as part of its climate change and sustainable transport objectives. The City of London Corporation's Housing Service stated that this policy aims to encourage sustainable transport and reduce emissions.
The decision was made during a Housing Management and Almshouses Sub-Committee meeting on Monday, September 14, 2026. The committee received updates on various housing matters, including new build lettings, void property management, and estate services. The meeting information clarifies that existing York Way residents who currently have parking will keep their existing arrangements, but does not detail a long-term vision for parking or future reviews of these arrangements.
Further details on the meeting's proceedings and reports can be found in the Public reports pack and the Agenda frontsheet.
