Size of vehicle

Your vehicle can be either a motorcycle, passenger vehicle or a light goods vehicle with no more than 8 seats. The overall height should not exceed 2.3 metres. The length should not exceed 5.5 metres.

Change of vehicle

When you change your vehicle, you should immediately update the vehicle associated to your permit via your online account. You will be able to change the vehicle on the permit for a maximum of 3 times in a 12-month period from the date of your first application. 

Permit refunds

If you no longer require your permit, you may apply for a refund. An administration fee of £5 will be deducted per permit cancelled. The refund amount is calculated on a pro-rata basis. For example, how many full calendar days remain on your permit.

No refund(s) will be given to permit holder(s) where the amount owing is the same or less than the administration fee.

No refund(s) will be issued for permits cancelled or rejected by the Council. No refund(s) will be due if the permit is cancelled due to a fraudulent application being made to obtain a permit illegally.

Suspensions 

From time to time it may be necessary to suspend a parking bay, this is normally due to road works being carried out by the utility companies, such as gas or electricity. During the period for which the bay is suspended, parking is not permitted in the bay. Even if a valid permit is displayed / exists a PCN will still be issued and the vehicle may be towed away.

It is the permit holder's responsibility to ensure that the bay in which their vehicle is parked is not suspended during the time their vehicle is there.
