Residents parking permit

Residents parking permit

If you live in a residential property within a residents' parking scheme area, i.e. 'permit holders only', you'll need to apply for a permit to park during restricted hours.

A permit doesn't guarantee a parking space outside of your property, because resident bays aren't allocated to individual properties.

There is an annual charge of £30 for each permit and each visitor permit you have.

You must inform the council and surrender your permit(s) if you:

  • move out of your property
  • no longer own the vehicle the permit was issued for
  • a replacement/duplication has been issued and is no longer needed
