Trade parking waiver

A parking waiver allows temporary parking, where parking restrictions normally apply.

Circumstances in which a waiver may be available include:

building, maintenance or repair works where close proximity to the site is essential
any other activity requiring a vehicle to park in contravention of the parking regulations

The usual restrictions regarding dangerous parking, obstruction and footway parking will still apply and will be considered on application.

The waiver will be vehicle and location specific, therefore only applications from trades people (not residents) can be accepted.

To apply for a waiver complete the Trades parking waiver form.

Trades parking waiver

Completing an application does not guarantee a waiver will be granted. Waivers will be assessed on a case by case basis. We reserve the right to decline an application. We will not grant requests for waivers where there is suitable unrestricted parking nearby. Should your scenario be one where loading and unloading can be achieved without breaking the parking rules and then you vehicle be moved to a more suitable location a waiver may not be necessary.

Should your waiver application be successful we will notify you confirming when you will be able to park.

Our Civil Enforcement Officers will be able to immediately check whether or not a vehicle found parked on a parking restriction has a valid waiver. They will do this by checking the vehicle registration number on their handheld computers.

Should a vehicle be parked; in the wrong location, on a type of restriction other than that agreed or without a valid waiver, the vehicle will be subject to the issue of a penalty charge notice and the appeals procedure will apply.

At any time a Police Officer, PCSO or an authorised officer of the council or equivalent person may withdraw permission of this waiver, and should you refuse to move the vehicle a penalty charge notice may be issued.
While the waiver is in use, we do not accept liability for any damage, loss or accident caused to or by the vehicle, and it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the vehicle is parked in a safe manner, ensuring safety to the public at all times.
Some types of activity may be automatically exempt from parking restrictions and a waiver may not be required.
Please allow two full working days for us to process your application. Once your application has been processed we will contact you and inform you of the outcome. You are not entitled to park your vehicle whilst your application is still being processed.

If you require any further information regarding restrictions in the location you are applying for prior to your application please contact us by email at [email protected] or by telephone on 01472 326290, option 2.

Concessionary parking permits

Concessionary parking permits are free or reduced cost parking, granted to support local charities and businesses. Concessionary parking permits can be provided for a variety of reasons including:

displacement due to pre-existing parking being removed
supporting charities
supporting large events

To apply and pay for a season ticket, you need to create an account and make an application on our parking permit portal.

More about concessionary parking

In instances where individuals or businesses have already been given access to a concession due to the restriction of access to or the removal of parking provision the council will on the decision to issue the yearly permit invoke the following conditions.

Concessionary permits will be valid for a period of 12 months commencing on 1^st April of that year and expiring on 31^st March the following year
Applications must be made to Parking Services for the concession on an annual basis by way of an application form and payment
An administration fee of £15.00 per permit will be required in order for Parking Services to process the application
As part of this application process the applicant may be contacted by an Officer of the local Transport Team in order to create a Personal Travel Plan. This will help to introduce the applicant to other sustainable travel options in keeping with those outlined in the Local Transport Plan (LTP) and in turn may reduce the requirement for a concessionary permit moving forward
Parking Services will be responsible for processing any applications received and issuing the concessionary permits. The number of concessionary permits allocated and the location where these are valid for use will be determined by the Parking Services pending review of any application submitted
Concessionary permits are non-transferrable and cannot be reallocated to another applicant
Concessionary permits will be issued electronically by way of an E-permit. This will be assigned to the applicant’s vehicle registration mark specified upon application. Therefore, should the applicant change their vehicle they must notify Parking Services allowing at least two working days (Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays) for the E-permit to be amended.

For any new requests made for concessionary parking arrangements caused by the restriction of access to or the removal or parking provision, the council will consider the following.

Was the loss of parking provision a direct result of the actions of the council?
Does the request originate from someone who was entitled to park there in the first place?
What are the financial implications of providing a concession?
What are the alternative transport methods in that location?
How many individuals have been affected?
How many parking spaces have been lost?
Where is the nearest alternative provision?

Once a concession has been approved, the location of the concession, any payment required, and any limit imposed on the number of applicants will be communicated to the applicant and an application pack will be sent out. Upon receipt of the application, the council will invoke similar conditions to those used for existing displacement.

Both existing and future applications for concessionary parking permits received from charities will be subject to the same conditions as those applying due to displacement with the following additional condition:

Concessionary permits will only be issued to organisations who can demonstrate they are a registered charity.
Maximum of 5 concessionary permits per charity.

Occasionally requests are made to the Service Area or the Council to temporarily waive or reduce the parking charges in one or more of the council’s Pay and Display car parks in support of an event (for example, the provision of free parking for volunteers at a charity fundraising event). Requests may be received from a variety of sources including community groups, charities, social enterprises and businesses. A request could be to waive or reduce charges for, specified vehicles, a specified number of bays or section of a car park, a whole car park or multiple car parks.

Before approving a request, the following must be considered:

What are the financial implications?
What is the impact on parking availability for other car park users?
Will it have a negative impact on adjacent businesses?
Will it have a negative impact on the Council’s reputation?
Will this bring wider impacts/benefit to the borough?

Each request will be considered on a case by case basis, and no decisions made will set a precedent for any requests received thereafter. The council reserves the right to refuse a request.

Where a request has not been identified through the Event Safety Advisory Group (ESAG) process, event organisers should, as an alternative, forward their request to [email protected] typically allowing 30 working days prior to the date of the event. Should a request be for a large volume of vehicles/bays, involve an entire car park or multiple car parks the request may then be referred to the council for approval and thus this may take in excess of the 30 working days to process. Requests of this nature are for larger events planned over a longer period of time, so organisers are urged to make their request at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment.

Parking Services do not have the facility to temporarily reserve bays and therefore cannot guarantee a parking space. As such, the majority of requests received will be managed by way of temporary concessionary permits. Depending on the circumstances of the request these may be issued electronically to predefined vehicles or in a hard copy format to be circulated by an event organiser. Applicants will therefore be advised that whilst concessionary permits have been issued the use of the car park is on a first come, first serve basis and guidance may be given on peak times in order to minimise the probability of disappointment.

For events where there is a requirement to reserve bays or a section of a car park and it is imperative that this happens to enable the event to proceed, Parking Services will refer the request to the Highways operations department in order for them to facilitate this. The hiring and placement of cones may carry a charge which will be relayed to the event organiser.
