Resident Blue Badge Permit

Resident Blue Badge permit

The Resident Blue Badge Permit is a digital permit that allows Blue Badge holders to park outside their homes in resident or permit-only bays, or general disabled parking bays without displaying their badge. This can help to reduce the risk of theft.

This permit does not replace your Blue Badge. You will still need to display your Blue Badge if you park your vehicle in any other restricted locations that the badge allows you to park, such as single yellow lines.

If you live in a car free development, you will not be able to apply for a resident Blue Badge permit or visitor permits.

About the permit

You can apply for a maximum of three permits per household.
The permit is valid for 12 months. You will receive a reminder 14 days before your current permit is due to expire.

Cost

The Resident Blue Badge Parking Permit is free of charge.

Further information

Multiple vehicles

You can have a maximum of three Resident Blue Badge permits registered to your address.
Each permit must be for a different Blue Badge and vehicle.
If a Blue Badge is for a dependent that is not old enough nor able to drive, only one parent or registered guardian can apply for a Resident Blue Badge Permit on their behalf.
If the parent or registered guardian of the dependent with a Blue Badge is also a Blue Badge holder it does not entitle the holder to an extra Resident Blue Badge Permit.

Registering a Resident Blue Badge Permit for a dependent not old enough to drive does not increase the maximum amount allowed per household.

Changes to your permit

If you have purchased or leased a new vehicle, you must supply proof, e.g., a copy of the log book (V5C) showing your name and your address.
You can temporarily change your vehicle to a courtesy one supplied by your insurer in the event your vehicle had been involved in an accident. The temporary change is only valid for 28 days.
You can make three temporary changes to the vehicle registered to this permit in the 12 months it is valid for.

Changes to your address

If you move to a different address that is eligible for a Resident Blue Badge Permit you will need to apply for a new permit at your new address.
You will need to cancel your permit and inform the Council that you have moved out of your address.

Penalty Charge Notices

If you believe you have received a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) in error, you will need to make an appeal in writing as directed on the reverse of the PCN.

Cancelling your permit

You can cancel the permit at any time either online or through the RingGo app. No refund will be issued because the permit is free of charge.
