Parking Waivers


Winchester City Council currently issue permits to allow vehicles to park, where parking restrictions apply, on specified stretches of road for specified periods. Parking waivers may be granted where a vehicle is required to be parked at or near to a precise location and where no alternative parking is reasonably available.

Although not an exclusive list, applications for waivers will be considered from or for:

  • Removal Vehicles
  • Shop Fitting Vehicles
  • Building Operations
  • Highway Maintenance
  • Crane Operations
  • Glaziers

Application for waivers will not normally be considered where there is reasonable alternative off-street parking nearby or if the reason the application is being made for is deemed to be for convenience rather than necessity.
