Drive a Chelsea tractor? It could cost you more to park: Council wants to hike parking permits for owners of 'large luxury cars' like Range Rovers and Audi R8s in SUV crackdown

Drivers with large luxury cars including Range Rovers and Audi R8s face having to pay more for their resident parking permits under a council's new Paris-style policy. Draft proposals by Labour-run Haringey Council, in north London, will see the annual cost of residents' parking permits rise by as much as £87 for the largest vehicles, depending on its size and how much CO2 it produces. Large cars which emit over 225g/km of CO2, including the Lamborghini Urus, could see their annual permit cost rise from £430 to £517 while the permit cost of a hybrid Fiat 500 — which emits between 104 and 109g/km — would go from £55 per year to £70 Drivers with large luxury cars including Range Rovers and Audi R8s face having to pay more for their resident parking permits under a council's new Paris-style policy Similar charges were proposed in Oxford and Bristol this year, as local officials followed France's lead in the crackdown on SUVs. Haringey Council, which oversees areas including Highgate, Muswell Hill, Tottenham and Wood Green, is also reportedly planning to scrap its £5 visitor permits.
