London Service Permit Consultations

Welcome to our consultation project page for London Service Permit applications and variations

Transport for London (TfL) is required to consult relevant London highway, police and certain other authorities on proposals by licensed PSV operators to operate London Service Permit services i.e. bus services that do not form part of the London bus network and are not secured by or operate under agreement with London Buses. The information here should be regarded as the formal consultation by Transport for London to relevant authorities as required under s186(3)(c) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 in relation to LSP proposals.

Any live consultations are listed below and you are able to provide any comments in the survey below. Please make sure you indicate which consultation you are responding to. Alternatively, you can email responses to lsp@tfl.gov.uk.

Decisions on whether applications have been successful are published in the London Service Permit consultation bulletin*, published every two weeks.
