Who can get a disabled parking bay

Blue badge holders can apply for an on-street parking bay outside or near their homes if they:

  • have no off-street parking, such as a garage or driveway
  • are the driver or the driver lives with them

Anyone with a blue badge may park in a disabled parking bay, even if they didn't request that specific bay.

Application process

Timeline

  • controlled parking zone - 1 year or longer
  • outside of a controlled parking zone - up to 6 months

Process

  1. We'll write to you to acknowledge your application
  2. We'll visit the site to ensure the bay meets our traffic management criteria
  3. If it does, we'll put white guidance marks down unless you live in a controlled parking area
  4. We'll write to you to tell you whether we've approved the bay
  5. Tell our contractors to put in advisory bay markings - this can take 4 to 6 weeks depending on the weather
