About dispensation parking permits

A dispensation parking permit allows you to make regular stops throughout Brighton & Hove to carry out essential work.

You can park for either:

  • 30 minutes on single or double yellow lines, where there are no loading bans in place
  • one hour in a resident permit bay

How to recognise a loading ban

You cannot park on yellow lines with a loading ban. Loading bans are marked by yellow strips on the kerb.

A single yellow line with a loading ban will have a single kerb marking. Double yellow lines will have a double kerb marking.

For a single yellow line, a sign on the street will tell you what times the loading ban is in place.
