Temporary Permits

For residents who need to park on-street on a temporary basis during self-isolation or furlough, a dispensation notice is now available for £5 per vehicle and is valid for a month. It is valid in any on-street bay, including pay and display bays and limited waiting bays, but not on yellow lines, taxi ranks, loading bays or disabled bays. The dispensation notice covers Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) and non-CPZ areas but not off-street car parks. To get a dispensation notice, please contact 01444 477212 (option 2).

Resident Visitor Permits

Due to the closure of the Library Visitor Permits for the Controlled Parking Zone cannot be sold face to face. Resident Visitor Permits will be sent by post from Mid Sussex District Council Parking Services.  Please contact the Council Offices by telephone on 01444 477212 and select Option 2. You will need to have a credit or debit card available to make payment.

New developments

Residents living in new developments that are located in private roads may be exempted from the parking permit scheme.

This means that they will not be able to apply for either resident permits or visitor vouchers to park on the surrounding roads outside their home and must make their own arrangements. In some cases, non-resident permits may be available subject to there being spare capacity.

The sale of permits to residents in any new development may be limited depending on the space available in nearby roads.

If you are unsure if your property is exempt from the scheme, contact our Parking Services team on 01444-477212 (option 2) or parkingpermits@midsussex.gov.uk.
