Terms and conditions for business parking permits

This Authority has a duty to protect the public funds it administers and may use the information collected in the permit application process to assist in the prevention and detection of fraud. For this purpose, the information may be used within the Authority and be shared with law enforcement agencies and other bodies administering public funds.

  1. The applicant's business address must be at the address given in the application.
  2. If the applicant stops running the business at the property, they must return or cancel all permits immediately.
  3. The applicant must cancel or transfer the permit immediately if they stop keeping and using the vehicle listed.
  4. Businesses can only apply for permits if they have no access to any off-street parking for the vehicle.
  5. Businesses can only apply for permits for use on vehicles that are necessary for the operation of the business.

  7. Permits are only issued for passenger vehicles, which must not be constructed to carry more than 8 passengers (excluding the driver), goods vehicles (not exceeding 5 tonnes maximum gross weight) or motorcycles, none of which may be attached to trailers.
  8. Permits are only valid for use on-street, in parking places or areas marked for the use of permit holders, so long as they have not been suspended. They are not valid in any off-street car parks.
  9. Applicants must provide all required documents and failure to do this may result in their application being rejected or if the permit had already been issued the permit may be cancelled.
  10. From time to time the council may request further documentation. The applicant must provide this promptly, and failure to do so may result in the permit being cancelled.
