Disabled parking bays

1) What are the bays for?

We provide parking bays for disabled badge holders outside or near their place of residence. The bays act as advisory markings on the carriageway indicating that a disabled person lives close by and that space is the most convenient place for them to park. The council has chosen not to cover such bays with a Traffic Regulation Order, therefore they are not enforceable but rather rely on people being community-minded enough not to park in the bays. In addition the intention of such bays is to maintain a parking place for any bona-fide disabled badge holder to use, not just the applicant.

2) Who can apply?

Anyone can apply for a disabled parking bay who has a valid disabled badge.

3) What is the criteria?

The application form sets out the information an applicant will need to supply. Every application represents a unique case and a final decision will be made by the investigating officer based on its merits. This will include a site visit to determine whether the provision of such a bay is practical. It should be pointed out that for an application to be successful, the Vehicle Registration Document provided must be for a vehicle registered at the address where the bay has been requested. Generally an application will not be successful if the applicant has an existing off-street parking facility or one that can be provided at or near to their property.

There is a charge of £75 if the application is successful.
