Parking Dispensations

About Parking Dispensations

Parking dispensations allow you to park a vehicle in a place where you would not normally be allowed to park. For example, on a yellow line.

A parking dispensation is granted for one specific vehicle registration only per application and cannot be transferred from one vehicle to another.

We will consider the safety for other road users prior to approving an application for the requested location.

Here are some examples of when a dispensation can be granted:

  • If there is a need to carry out specific work i.e. tree pruning or site inspections

  • If your vehicle is too big to fit in a normal parking bay

  • If there is a need to be as close to the premises as possible for loading or unloading goods and materials

  • If there is no alternative parking space available

When a parking dispensation will not be granted

Please be advised that dispensations cannot be applied for to facilitate the following:

  • utility works

  • roadworks

  • building works

  • special events

  • to place a skip on the public highway

You may instead be required to apply for a (TTRO) Temporary Traffic Order where there is free parking or yellow lines or a bay suspension within a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ).

How to apply for a parking dispensation

Applications must be submitted at least 2 working days prior to the date you require your dispensation to start.

What you will need:

  • area of the dispensation i.e Barnet

  • location i.e street name

  • vehicle registration number

  • confirm the start date and duration

  • reason for the dispensation i.e moving home

  • confirm the exact location details

  • email address

  • your credit or debit card details, we do not accept AMEX

Cancellations

The dispensation is not transferable, and no refunds will be given for periods of unused time.

Disclaimer

We reserve the right to cancel or withdraw a dispensation without notice as and when it is deemed necessary to do so, for example in connection with a major event, incident or emergency. Any payments made will be refunded as appropriate.

Please note that a dispensation means that, subject to terms and conditions, a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) will not be issued for parking in contravention of the parking restriction specified. The driver remains fully responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is parked safely and legally at all times.
