Permit Purchase

Welcome to West Berkshire Council’s Dispensation purchase portal.

On the next page you will have the choice to purchase two different types of permits. Firstly select whereabouts you need your dispensation to apply. At each location you will have a choice of two different dispensations which are detailed below.



Green Dispensations

These permits are for parking in restricted bays on-street (i.e. not on a single or double yellow lines). These are available for immediate purchase and use.

Green dispensations are valid for the period purchased throughout West Berkshire for the following parking restrictions:

  • Limited Waiting Bays
  • Residents Parking Bays
  • Pay & Display Bays
  • Loading Bays

Please be aware using a green dispensation on any other parking restrictions may result in a Penalty Charge Notice being issued.



Red Dispensations

These permits are for parking in restricted areas of the street and will require approval from the Parking office.

Red dispensations are valid for the period purchased throughout West Berkshire for the following areas:

  • Single Yellow Lines
  • Double Yellow Lines
  • Taxi Bays

Once application has been made for a red dispensation, the Parking Office will review the request and make a decision based on availability. However, please note that payment details will be required upon application but will be held in a suspense account pending approval from the Parking Team. You will receive notification when the application has been approved.

An application must be made at least 5 working days prior to the required start date to allow for a decision to be reached.

The cost for a dispensation is £15.00 per day, per vehicle (applies to all days).
