Parking Dispensation

Dispensation is permission to park where parking would normally be restricted or chargeable.

You need permission in advance if your business or organisation needs to park in contravention of parking restrictions for an extended period of time where parking is restricted. (e.g. yellow lines, loading bays etc.)

We will not issue dispensations for:

  • convenience
  • free parking
  • loading during the restricted periods
  • disabled bays
  • school restrictions
  • bus stops
  • taxi ranks
  • on a footway
  • at locations causing an obstruction
  • requests where there are doubts concerning the validity of the application

In the case where a tradesperson/contractor is just looking for a place nearby to park then they will not be granted dispensation unless they can demonstrate that they require their vehicle to carry out the work. (e.g. generator on van, hoses)

N.B. Dispensation does not permit general parking, and it does not allow the vehicle to remain in the restricted/prohibited area once the dispensation purpose has been fulfilled.

N.B Dispensation must be approved in advance unless it is an emergency (e.g. broken down vehicle)
