This is becoming more and more normal in and around London. Developers build blocks of flats (increasingly tall blocks) without any parking at all, and the councils do not provide any resident parking permits for those living in the new flats. Because they simply don't have the space to do so.
Whilst not having a car in London can work (I don't have one), it's a total non-starter for many, especially those with kids. So now there's a load of new homes built, which looks great on paper for the council, but they are totally useless homes for many people.
