An application for a disabled bay road marking outside a residential property may be submitted to Leicestershire County Council. The provision of any disabled bay road marking is subject to the following conditions:

• That the applicant, or a member of their household, is disabled and has a valid blue badge

• That the member of the household registered as disabled, has the regular use (as either driver or passenger) of a vehicle that is kept at the address on the application

• That difficulty is frequently experienced in obtaining a parking space close to the residence, for example, a space is not available more often than a space is available

• That there is no suitable off-street parking available at the property

• That parking is not currently restricted outside the property

• That there is sufficient space for the parking bay

• That the character of the road fronting the property must not be such that the provision of a bay would lead to a hazard for other road users

• If the proposed parking bay will wholly or partly overlap the frontage of another property, the resident of that property will be consulted

Please note that the provision of a disabled parking bay road marking does not guarantee the availability of that space for the applicant.

A disabled bay may be ‘advisory’ or ‘mandatory’. An advisory disabled bay marking is, by definition, not enforceable. This means that neither the Police nor the County Council can take any action if a non-disabled person, or indeed another disabled person, parks in that space. A mandatory disabled bay marking is enforceable by law. This means that action can be taken by the County Council or its Agents against any person parking in the disabled bay whilst not correctly displaying a valid blue badge. The provision of a disabled bay road marking, and the type of bay, will depend on the presence or absence of waiting prohibitions outside the property.

The provision of either type is subject to acceptance of further conditions outlined in our conditions and further guidance document (PDF).
