Request an on-street disabled parking bay in Dorset

Criteria for introducing a disabled parking bay

Applications will only be considered from, or on behalf of, disabled persons living in a vehicle owning household (you will be required to provide a copy of the vehicle registration document), who receive one of the following qualifying allowances:

• higher rate mobility component of Disability Living Allowance
• enhanced rate of the mobility component of Personal Independence Payment
• War Pensioners' Mobility Supplement (WPMS) or Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)

Applicants can be of any age and do not have to be a driver.

Applicants should not have any parking provision available within the curtilage of their own property, nor the opportunity to make such provision, nor have readily available 'on or off-street' parking provision within 25 metres of their property. In these situations, it is not possible to provide restrictive parking on the public highway.

Charge for a disabled parking bay

The charge for a disabled parking bay is £254.50 on confirmation of an approved application.

We accept payment by:

• cheque
• secure telephone payment via credit or debit card
