Lytton Grove and Carlton Drive – Public Consultation on coach parking for Putney High School

Overview

Putney High School has no off-street parking, meaning school buses park at available spaces on Lytton Grove and Carlton Drive.

As part of existing planning approval for the school site, dedicated on-street school bus parking is to be provided. We have worked with the school to review the existing parking provisions on both Lytton Grove and Carlton Drive, and we propose to formalise school bus parking on both roads. This will limit the impact on controlled parking and reduce congestion on both roads by splitting the parking between them.

You can see the proposed layout of the bus bays, timing of operation and impact on CPZ parking on the map here. 

The school runs 4 routes offering spaces for at least 50 children per trip. This will reduce car traffic to and from the school.

The bus parking bays will provide dedicated controlled bus parking spaces operating between 8am and 4:30pm Monday to Friday. Outside of these hours the parking will revert to CPZ hours of control. If implemented, the school has agreed they will stagger drop off and collection of school children to manage access to the dedicated spaces which will minimise congestion and reduce the impact on residents’ parking.

A drop-in session has been arranged at the Putney High School for Girls (entry from Junior School Main Entrance) on Friday 7th November 2025 from 5.30 PM to 7.30 PM. Council officers will be in attendance to answer any questions you may have on the proposals.
