You cannot park in permit holder-only areas without a valid permit, even if you're in the process of moving into a house. If you have visitors helping with your move, they would need a valid visitor permit or scratchcard to park in those zones to avoid a penalty charge notice.
If you're considering applying for a parking permit, here's a quick overview of the permit options available:
| Permit Type | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First Resident Permit | £36.00 | Delivered with ten visitor scratchcards if applicable. |
| Second Resident Permit | £72.00 | |
| Visitor Permit | Free/£17.00 | First book free; additional books cost £17 for 10 scratchcards. |
