Suspend a parking bay
You can apply to suspend a resident bay, shared-use bay, pay and display bay or a limited waiting bay.
Please note: these applications are for parking bays only. Any applications that affect the main highway need to be completed via: Highway applications and permits
Why you would need to do this
The removal of restrictions for a limited time may help the movement of traffic or make somewhere safer for the public where:
- building work (such as demolition or excavation) is being carried out next to the space:
- to make sure there's room for a skip to be delivered or for a delivery to be made where the area might usually have cars parked
- to allow a vehicle containing necessary equipment to be parked close to the site
- it's needed for domestic / house removals
- it's for a wedding, funeral or other special event
- filming is taking place
Cost
The cost is £10 per day per bay, plus a £15 admin fee.
We will let you know the cost and how to pay after you have made your application and is has been approved.
After you've applied
Our decision will depend on:
- why you want the area restricted, and
- where you want the restriction
We will contact you within 5 working days to let you know whether your application has been successful.
We will print notices and display them around the affected parking bay/s to let others know of the temporary change in restrictions. You will need to provide the registration numbers of all the vehicles that are likely to access the suspend bay/s during the period. It is up to you to safely block off the suspended bay/s to prevent anyone else from using them.
