It is important to acknowledge that many of the roads in East Staffordshire are very busy at different times of the day. This means that the situation for delivery and servicing can never be perfect. If you are carrying out work or services to premises in the area, requiring constant access to your vehicle/tools (i.e. where constant access to tools or materials in the vehicle is needed, such as a carpet fitter where carpets are stored or a glazier where glass is stored) and need to park for longer than the permitted stay in a limited waiting bay or on yellow lines, you are able to apply in advance for a Parking Dispensation Notice for a specific location.
Introduction to Dispensations
It is important to acknowledge that many of the roads in East Staffordshire are very busy at different times of the day. This means that the situation for delivery and servicing can never be perfect. If you are carrying out work or services to premises in the area, requiring constant access to your vehicle/tools (i.e. where constant access to tools or materials in the vehicle is needed, such as a carpet fitter where carpets are stored or a glazier where glass is stored) and need to park for longer than the permitted stay in a limited waiting bay or on yellow lines, you are able to apply in advance for a Parking Dispensation Notice for a specific location.
If more than one vehicle is required on site a separate Parking Dispensation Notice should be obtained for each vehicle (subject to street space).
A Parking Dispensation Notice is not intended for those who will not require constant access to their vehicle, such as a labourer who will work on site but not require bulky tools or raw materials from the vehicle. This person should seek to drop off tools and then park legally. Parking Dispensation Notices are usually only issued to vehicles of transit size or over.
The Council has the authority to issue a Parking Dispensation Notice which will allow a vehicle to park on yellow lines or in a parking bay for a specified period of time. The Council is also entitled to charge for Dispensations and has set a charge to reflect the cost of administration of this service.
Cost and Method of Payment
A charge will be applicable for each vehicle on a daily basis if a Parking Dispensation is deemed necessary. The cost is £15.00 for the first day and £5.00 per day thereafter.
Next Steps
If you require a Parking Dispensation please read the Conditions of Use on the application form.
Once completed please send the application form to the East Staffordshire Borough Council Town Hall Burton upon Trent DE14 2EB with payment (cheques should be made payable to East Staffordshire Borough Council) to arrive at least 48hours (not including weekends) before you require the Parking Dispensation to start.
Please note Parking Dispensations cannot be issued for the same day. Notices asked for on the day will be declined.
If you have difficulties or require an emergency Parking Dispensation, for example for an emergency plumbing incident, please contact the Parking Section on 01283 508520. Your Parking Dispensation will need to be collected from the Town Hall main reception between the hours of 8.00am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday.
