A Dispensation allows a vehicle to park where parking restrictions apply (e.g. double/single yellow lines/loading bays) to allow for building works/removals etc to take place. A dispensation is only granted in certain situations and where it is essential that the vehicle needs to be on site. A dispensation only applies to a specific vehicle, on the date and location specified.
A Suspension allows a vehicle to park within a Pay and Display bay if the bay is required for longer than the maximum stay the parking regulations allow.
There are only certain specific circumstances where parking places may be used to allow for building operations, removals, delivery of goods, special events etc. which may take longer than the permitted regulations allow.
The Council will reach a balanced view when determining requests for either a suspension or dispensation.
Emergency suspension or dispensation may be granted immediately.
