Terms and Conditions

• The annual permit (hereinafter referred to as “permit”) is valid for one calendar year from the date of issue.
• Payment for the permit is to be made via our online form. Use of the permit will be considered as an acceptance of the Terms and Conditions.
• The permit is valid for one vehicle only parking at any one time, but may be used by one additional car belonging to a member of the same household, providing that both vehicle registrations are registered at time of application.
• The date of issue shall be the date on which the Council issues the permit. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not the date on which you apply for the permit. The charge for the permit shall reflect those charges that are effect on the date of issue.
• We no longer issue paper permits. These have been replaced by digital virtual permits, using an online system which Parking Services have access to. When the Parking Attendant patrols the car park, they will be able to check your details on the system. This will confirm that you hold a valid permit.
• Permits are not transferable.
• Permits are only valid for the controlled hours of each specified car park. Specified hours are detailed below. There is no overnight parking allowed at any of the above countryside sites.

• Vehicles must be parked in a marked bay (where applicable) and for no longer than the permitted length of time (where applicable).
