Parking permits

Residential properties (as defined by the Traffic Management Order) are able to apply for resident permits to be able to park in parking management schemes. Properties located within restricted developments (as defined by section 106 agreements) are not entitled to apply for resident permits or vouchers.  

Once you have created a parking permit account, you can apply for a resident permit using the permit application option on the account homepage. As part of your application, you will need to provide proof to validate your application.

The types of proof we can accept are listed below. 

Residential proof - 1 of the following:

• current council tax bill 
• tenancy agreement 
• solicitor's letter (confirming purchase) 
• utility bill (dated within the last 3 months) 

• full driver's licence.

Vehicle proof - 1 of the following: 

• DVLA logbook (V5C) 
• insurance schedule 
• letter from employer confirming use of company vehicle 
• lease/hire agreement 
• garage bill of sale. 

Please note: All proof supplied must be in the same name and address as the permit application.  

Once you have submitted your supporting documents, your permit will become active from the start date of the permit and is issued virtually (no paper permit will be issued to be displayed in the vehicle).  

If you currently hold a paper permit, when applying online please ensure you start your permit the day after your paper permit is due to expire.
