A permit will only be provided if the issuing authority considers that there is likely to be unused parking places within the requested zone.
As priority is given to those living in the area/zone, please be aware that should demand for resident permits increase, we may write to you and ask you to return the permit to us.
A permit cannot be issued for occasional loading/unloading activities, as this may take place at any time as long as the vehicle is not causing an obstruction or hazard to other vehicles.
