We have investigated this report and found the vehicle location is not the responsibility of Bromley Council (such as private property or an unadopted road). We are unable to progress this report further without the expressed permission of the land owner and advise you contact the responsible party.

Regarding the request to remove the vehicle I have been advised that this is in fact the local authorities responsibility, Government Guidelines state that the local authority are responsible. As such we have contacted Bromley Council and it may be worthwhile you also and perhaps any of your neighbours contacting them to ensure they attend. I show below the information obtained and wlould also advise that you can report on line merley by googling “removal of abandoned vehicles”. “Duty to remove abandoned vehicles” “Local councils and national parks authorities, known as ‘local authorities’, must remove abandoned vehicles from both: land in the open air roads (including private roads) When removing vehicles from occupied land, local authorities can’t charge occupiers. Local authorities must give landowners or occupiers 15 days’ notice that they propose to remove the vehicle. They can’t remove the vehicle if the landowners or occupiers object during the notice period. Local councils don’t have to remove abandoned vehicles if the cost of moving them to the nearest highway is unreasonably high (for example, if special machinery is needed), unless the vehicle is on a carriageway. Local authorities can’t be held liable for damage resulting from abandoned cars.” Regards, Richard RICHARD GIBBONS Director Hindwoods, 98 Grove Vale, East Dulwich, SE22 8DS T: 020 8693 2212 F: 020 8299 4619 hindwoods.co.uk

Where expressed permission is given by the land owner or a managing agent acting on the freeholder’s behalf Bromley Council can investigate nuisance vehicles on privately owned land.
There is a non-refundable administration charge of £31.10 per vehicle for the investigation of vehicles on private land. The investigation includes site visits, all relevant DVLA checks and the serving of any required notices on the vehicle. Where a registered keeper or interested party is identified from the investigation we will write to the keeper. Responsibility for liaising further with the keeper thereafter and arranging removal rests with the land owner. If the vehicle is found to be abandoned the removal of the vehicle will be undertaken free of charge by Bromley You can apply and pay for the investigation of a vehicle on private land online by using the link https://www.bromley.gov.uk/ site/ xfp/ scripts/ xforms_form.aspx?formID=238
