Is there a waiting list?
If the demand for permits exceeds availability a waiting list will be implemented.
There is waiting list for zone A in Hastings. There are three people on the list.
Developments
A permit may not be issued if the address is part of a large development with off street parking.
These are generally dwellings with no or limited off street parking where East Sussex County Council has advised the planning authorities that should planning permission be granted, no or a restricted number of permits will be issued. The Traffic Regulation Order may include a clause to this effect. This is necessary to manage increasing on street parking demand from development that does not provide adequate off street parking facilities.
What if my vehicle is not registered in the UK?
Motorists of any non UK registered vehicles will only be issued with a permit for a maximum of six months. Foreign vehicles that remain in the UK for longer than six months are required to register with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency or obtain a customs exemption certificate from His Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
