New permits

Is this the first time you have applied for a permit? If so and you live in the CPZ, you will need to fill out our residents' application form. Find out which zone you live in with our interactive map. If you live in the southern Grange you will need our Priority Parking application form. Before you can get a new residents' permit we need to see some documents. This is to prove you are the main driver and that you live within the Controlled Parking Zone. Please note that we can accept photocopies of your documents. You can also find some useful residents' permits definitions.
