Apply for a disabled persons parking place

If you are a Blue Badge holder living in a property that does not have access to off-street parking you may be eligible to apply to have a designated disabled persons parking place marked at or near your home.

To qualify for a disabled persons parking place you must: 

  • have a Blue Badge.
  • have a vehicle registered at the address.
  • have a vehicle that is suitable for your needs.
  • not have use of a driveway, access or garage at the property, or alternative parking facilities adjacent to, your address.

Disabled persons parking place - applicant information

The applicant:

  • must be a qualifying person with a current three-year disabled person’s Blue Badge with a minimum remaining validity of 2 years.
  • an applicant’s address must be the same as the registered address of the registered keeper of a vehicle, which is suitable for the carriage of the individual.
  • a copy of the relevant Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C) must accompany the application form. Applications will only be considered with a copy of the appropriate V5C (If you are a Motability customer, you can request a copy of your V5C by contacting Motability and providing your vehicle details or customer reference number).
  • the applicant should be either the driver of the vehicle or a passenger who must be supervised, or it must only be possible for a vehicle to stop safely to pick up or set down the applicant with a bay.
  • there must be no driveway/hard standing/garage or lock up adjacent to the dwelling.

Disabled persons parking place - assessment criteria

Ayrshire Roads Alliance must decide:

  • whether it is possible to identify a suitable on-road parking place from which there is convenient access to the applicant’s address.
  • that the provision of the disabled parking place will not compromise safe and efficient traffic management locally.

A bay may not be provided if:

  • the bay would be located within 15 metres of a junction.
  • the bay would be located within a turning facility.
  • the bay would be likely to cause an obstruction.
  • the bay is not on a road which the Roads Authority maintains (if so, a request should be made directly to those who have management responsibilities for these areas such as a housing association or factor)

Any disabled parking place provided should not be considered as a parking space reserved for the sole use of the applicant or any other individual.

The applicant must inform Ayrshire Roads Alliance if the bay requires renewal or for any reason is no longer required

Lining renewals require the applicant to complete a new application.
