Apply for an access permit for a neighbourhood management scheme

Apply for a resident access permit

If you have not used this service before, you'll need to set up your online parking permit account.

Who can apply

Residents will only be exempt if they meet the exemption criteria.  

You can apply for an access permit if:  

  • you’re a blue badge holder
  • you, or a child you're travelling with, has a chronic health condition that means sitting in a car on a longer journey causes additional distress 

If you're a resident but are applying for an access permit due to the work you do, you must apply for a business access permit. For example, if you're a professional carer, you have an organisation Blue Badge or because your business is to transport disabled people.

You may also be exempt but will need to apply for an access permit if you're:

  • an organisation that qualifies for a Blue badge
  • a professional carer and your ability to help the person you care for is impacted by a neighbourhood management scheme

Exemptions under this category are limited to:

  • professional carers providing hospice or end-of-life care, where regular and ongoing vehicle access within the restricted area is necessary to deliver that care
  • your organisation transports disabled people or people with access needs

How to apply

If you’re applying under this criteria, you will need to: 

  • create or log into your resident parking permit account
  • select ‘N1 Resident Access Permit’
  • complete the form and upload your proof
