Discount eligibility
Permits issued with a low emission parking discount are vehicle specific.
The discount is calculated and applied automatically when you enter the vehicle details within the Parking Permit Portal.
If you assign a private registration number to a vehicle there can be a delay in the DVLA records being updated of up to 6 weeks - which could lead to your eligibility for a discount not being recognised. If this is the case, please contact Parking Services for assitance.
Please note that if you don’t own the vehicle, if a parking fine is issued and not paid, any notification letters will be sent to the registered keeper and not your address.
