Check your eligibility for a resident parking permit
If the number of vehicles registered to your property exceeds the number of off-street parking spaces available within the property, you may be entitled to parking permits.
Follow the steps below to check if you are entitled to a parking permit.
Firstly:
- Add up all vehicles registered to your address and deduct the number of off-street parking spaces at your property – the resulting number is known as your on-street parking dependence.
Secondly:
- Check your property 'parking zone' - Zone A, B or C.
- Search the table below for your property type and see how many parking permits are allocated for your parking zone.
- Deduct the number of off-street parking spaces on your property to get your reduced 'maximum entitlement'.
Thirdly:
- Take the lowest number resulting from the two calculations above as your parking permit entitlement.
