Requirements for a business parking permit
A business parking permit allows a vehicle to park in business bays, or any shared-use bays that specify use by business permit holders and generic permit holders.
There are two options for the type of permit:
- A single, specified Controlled Parking Zone permit.
- An 'all zones' permit.
To apply for a business parking permit:
- you must have a business in the area that the permit is valid
- your vehicle must be used and insured for business purposes.
All applications must include a:
- current copy of your National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR) (business rates)
- valid insurance certificate for your vehicle
- copy of the vehicle registration document (V5/C)
Business permits are now e-permits, this means you will no longer receive a physical permit by post. Your permit will be displayed as part of your online account and you will receive a confirmation email after your application has been approved.
Your permit is valid until the expiry date. Please ensure that you apply for a new permit, within 30 days of the expiry date of your existing permit. You are now also able to request a change of vehicle through your online account.
