Residential permits are issued to residents of Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon and Pateley Bridge who live within the controlled parking zones in the Harrogate District.

 

Permits are issued within a specific zone and can only be used in that zone in order to prevent residents from one zone creating parking problems in adjacent zones.

The zones in Harrogate are shown on the map below.

Proprietors of businesses within some zones may apply to buy permits to park on streets within the zone. 

As there is a limited number of on-street parking spaces, there is also a limit on the number of permits which each household or business can buy.  As the name of the scheme implies, priority is given to residents.

There are different types of permits:

Household	issued to residents and permanent residents of guest houses and hotels
Attendance	issued to residents in need of care to be used by their carers
Business	issued to proprietors of businesses or hotels/guest houses who do not live on the premises
Doctors'	issued to doctors with a surgery in the zone
Healthcare	issued to staff in the healthcare profession whose duties require multiple visits to properties located within a residential parking zone on a regular basis
Exemption	issued to GPs and police staff using unmarked vehicles whose duties require multiple visits to properties located within a residential parking zone or pay and display zone on a regular basis
Guest	issued to residents and proprietors of hotels/guest houses for use by their guests

When correctly displayed the permit would give your car immunity from the issue of a penalty charge notice.  The scheme is designed to stop others parking all day in your road.  The permit will give you the best possible chance to park near your home or business.  They do not reserve any part of the road, or parking bay, for your use.

The controls do not affect your access to parking or garaging on your own land (e.g. in your driveway).  Certain vehicles will also be exempt, for example motorcycles, emergency or utility vehicles and vehicles displaying a Blue Badge.

Restrictions apply on Sundays and Bank Holidays in all parking zones unless otherwise stated.
