Business Parking Permit
Students
University students who are living in the area must ensure their vehicle is registered or insured to the permit address to be able to apply for a resident permit. Vehicles must be shown to be registered and insured at the permit address you are applying for e.g. the student accommodation/HMO. It is up to the resident to pay any additional costs insurance companies charge to ensure your vehicle is insured at your university residential address.
No resident parking permits will be issued if a vehicle is shown to be insured and registered elsewhere e.g. away from the permit address.
