Residents within a scheme area are able to purchase a permit to enable them to park within a residents' parking zone and/or designated residents' parking bay without restriction within a reasonable distance to their home.

Possession of a residents' parking permit doesn't guarantee a parking space. Vehicles without a permit will continue to be able to gain access for purposes of loading and unloading, and blue badge holders will also be able to continue to park without restriction.

Along with the introduction of any new and revised residents' preferential parking schemes, we'll also be introducing a digital permit system enabling residents to purchase permits. This will allow the customer to make their own changes, for example changes to vehicle details online and over the telephone as and when required.

Permit allocation for each scheme, including a definitive list of properties entitled to permits, is required to be laid down in an appropriate traffic regulation order (TRO).

Enforcement of residents' parking schemes will be carried out by Shropshire Council civil enforcement officers (CEOs).

When the number of available parking spaces available in any proposed residents' parking scheme is equal to or greater than the number of properties, residents of those properties will be entitled to purchase a maximum of two residents’ permits per residential property.

When the number of on-street parking spaces available in any proposed residents parking scheme is less than the number of properties registered, resident permit allocation is normally limited to a maximum of one resident permit per residential property.

A significant factor in many residential areas is that there simply isn't enough available space on-street to accommodate all residents’ vehicles. By limiting each residential property to one permit per residential property this will allow all residents equal opportunity to park a vehicle within a reasonable distance of their home.

However, in extreme circumstances where the majority of residential properties support an increase to two permits per residential property, and this is also supported by the Shropshire Council elected member/s, the number of permits made available to each residential property may be increased to two permits per residential property.

Visitor stays may also be allocated to residential properties within a scheme, in which case each registered residential property within the scheme shall be entitled to receive a maximum allocation of up to 200 hours of visitor parking per annum.

With the new scheme proposals residents' parking permits will cost £100 per annum. There is no charge for change of vehicle registered on permits. Visitor stays are allocated to each residential property registered in a scheme. Residents who purchase an annual residents parking permit will also be entitled to receive an allocation of 200 hours’ free visitor parking stays per annum.

Residents with a registered residential property in a scheme who don't take up the annual residents’ parking permit allocation will still be entitled to receive an allocation of 200 hours’ free visitor parking stays per annum. The annual registration cost for this service is £5.

These charges are to cover the operational, maintenance and administration costs of the schemes.
