What are these services?

Street parking - residential disabled parking bays

In certain circumstances, 'on-street' parking bays can be implemented in residential areas for the use of disabled drivers who are Blue Badge holders. These bays provide on street parking for Blue Badge holders who do not have access to off street parking such as a drive or garage outside or near to their home.

Residential disabled parking bays may be permitted where they:

  • Are provided solely to address access issues
  • Provide on-street parking for eligible disabled people near to their home subject to meeting specific highway conditions
  • Are not person specific and may be used by any blue badge holder regardless of where they live.
  • Require a Traffic Regulation Order to be created before they can be installed
  • Are outlined on the road with white lines and a traffic sign

Residential disabled parking bays will not be permitted where there are:

  • Adequate off-street parking facilities available
  • Waiting restrictions in place outside of their property, including double/single yellow lines, clearways / bus stop clearways and school zig-zig road markings

Cost

There is no cost for provision of a residential disabled parking bay, however, the number of bays that can be provided in any year will be limited by the funding available. 

If a pathway or dropped kerb is required to access the residential disabled parking bay, the funding of such works will be the responsibility of the applicant. The County Council will not meet the cost of such works.

Assessment

All requests for a residential disabled parking bay will face a two stage assessment process

Removal of Residential Disabled Parking Bays

If you no longer require a residential disabled parking bay due to a change of personal circumstances, please notify the County Council so that we can arrange for it to be removed.

The County Council has the authority to remove any residential disabled parking bay in future if any of the Eligibility Criteria or Highway Specific Conditions are no longer satisfied or appropriate.
