Parking permits

On-street parking place suspensions

Contractors often require access to the highway to carry out works. A suspension of on-street parking bays is necessary when existing parking regulations will be contravened or when the bays are needed for traffic management purposes.

Contractors intending to carry out works on the highway must first obtain a Section 50 Street Works Licence from the relevant Highway Authority. Once a licence has been secured, contractors may apply for an on-street parking bay suspension.

The council requires a minimum notice of seven working days. Any applications submitted after this period may not be approved.

The application must include:

  • The reason for the suspension
  • The applicable street works licence reference
  • The dates the suspension is required
  • A map indicating the specific parking bays affected
  • Public liability insurance

Fees:

  • Administration fees start at £55 for the first day
  • An additional £25 per day applies thereafter
  • The maximum charge is £280 for up to 10 days
