About resident parking permits

If you currently live within a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) you will need a residents parking permit to be able to park your vehicle in a Permit Holders Only or Residents Permit Holders Only space within the controlled hours.

Signs on the street will give more information about the zone and its operating hours.

Resident permits are virtual, which means you do not need to display anything in your vehicle. Your permit is electronic and is associated with your vehicle registration number.

Patrolling Civil Enforcement Officers will be able to view your permit on their handheld computers.

You can apply for a 12 month or a 3 month permit.

You will receive email renewal reminders in advance of the permit expiry date.

Households can hold up to a maximum of 4 resident permits at any 1 time.

Foreign vehicles

If you own a vehicle that is registered in another country and you plan on keeping the vehicle for more than 6 months you will need to register your vehicle with the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency)

We can issue you with a parking permit for a 12 month period but will need you to provide the vehicle registration document (equivalent of the UK vehicle logbook (V5C) document).

If the Co2 emissions are not mentioned in the vehicle registration document, then the permit charge would need to be based on the vehicle’s engine size.

Once you have registered the vehicle in the UK you must upload the updated vehicle document to your permit account.

When you add the vehicle registration number to the permit account, please ensure that you do not use hyphens at any point. For example, TE51ST instead of TE-51-ST.

Renew your parking permit

We will send you email reminders 4 weeks, 2 weeks and the day before your current permit is due to expire.

Emails should appear in your inbox and are sent from no-reply@mipermit.com

Please check your spam and junk folders before contacting us.

Cancel your parking permit

If you no longer require your permit, you can cancel the permit in your account.

If a permit with a duration of more than one month is no longer required, a refund for all full remaining months will be processed only from the date that the permit has been cancelled in the permit account. If a permit is cancelled mid-month, you will not receive a refund for the remaining days of that month.

The refund should automatically be credited back to the initial payment card within 14 working days.

Prices

Permit prices are based on the engine size and emissions of your vehicle.

For vehicles registered before 1 March 2001, or where the CO2 emissions is not documented, the permit price is based on the vehicle engine size.

7+ Seater vehicle reduction

If your vehicle has 7 passenger seats or more, you can apply for a reduction on your permit price.

The discount only applies if your vehicle falls into band 7 to 14. The discount does not include any supplements which apply if your car is a diesel vehicle or any additional vehicles.

The discounted amount should automatically be calculated upon application. If not, then please email the parking permit team proof that the vehicle has 7 or more seats for your partial refund to be processed. The information can be found in your vehicle logbook (V5C) or in your insurance policy schedule. If you cannot find any reference to the number of seats, then please provide us with photos of the front profile (including the vehicle registration mark) along with side profile photos of the vehicle clearly showing that there are 7 or more seats.

Do not proceed with an online application if the 7+ seater reduction has not been automatically calculated as we will not be able to issue partial refunds. Please email the parking permit team with the supporting documentation (as per the above) so that they can log the application for you.

Terms and conditions of use

  1. Only the resident that currently lives in the address that falls within the eligible property ranges of a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) as stipulated within the relevant traffic order can apply and purchase a Resident permit.
  2. Resident permits are issued as a virtual, electronic permit which are valid for a specific vehicle.
  3. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to ensure that they supply the correct vehicle registration number when applying for their permit.
  4. The maximum number of Resident permits which shall be issued to any household at any one time shall be 4.
  5. Resident permits are only valid in Permit Holders Only or Resident Permit Holders Only parking places within the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) with the same zone identified letter(s) associated with the permit and shown on the time plate.
  6. Resident permits are not valid in any other parking space or place other than the Permit Holders Only or Residents Permit Holders Only spaces.
  7. The issue of a Resident permit does not guarantee the availability of a parking space, nor does it render the Council subject to any liability in respect of loss or damage to any vehicle in a parking place or the contents or fittings of any such vehicle.
  8. Failure to have a Resident permit valid during the controlled hours of the given (CPZ) may result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) being issued to the vehicle.
  9. Parking places may be suspended by any person duly authorised by the Council or the police. Do not park in a parking place where signs indicate it is suspended.
  10. If a Resident permit is no longer required, and the permit holder cancels the permit within their permit account, a refund for all full remaining months will be processed only from the date that the permit has been cancelled in the permit account. If a permit is cancelled mid-month, you will not receive a refund for the remaining days of that month.
  11. The council may revoke a permit if it is believed that the permit is being misused. Where a vehicle has 3 or more unpaid and outstanding Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) issued that have progressed to 'charge certificate' stage (by this stage there is no longer a right of appeal) then a new or renewed permit will not be issued for that vehicle until all of the outstanding Penalty Charge Notices have been paid or the matter otherwise resolved.
  12. A permit may be cancelled if it is not used in accordance with these terms and conditions of use (under these circumstances you will not be entitled to any refund).
  13. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) being issued to your vehicle.
  14. A goods vehicle with an overall height greater than 2.3 metres may not make use of a parking place during controlled hours.
