Resident Parking Zones

There are several resident parking zones in Crawley. These are also sometimes called controlled parking zones.

During the hours of operation, you may only park in a ‘Permit Holders Only’ bay by displaying a valid permit, or pay and display ticket where applicable.

Permits must only be used in the vehicle for which they were issued. You should contact Parking Services for a temporary change of vehicle.

Motorcycles may park in any permit, pay and display or shared use bay free of charge with no time restriction.

New developments

New developments are excluded from resident permit schemes because the requirement for parking is considered through the planning process. However, we may be able to offer a Resident Permit to people living in new developments if there is sufficient space available in nearby roads. Renewal is not guaranteed upon expiry.

How to apply or renew

Resident permit

Return your completed form to Parking Services, Town Hall, The Boulevard, Crawley, RH10 1UZ, or you can email it to parking.services@crawley.gov.uk.

Temporary vehicles

Permit holders who have a temporary vehicle, must contact Parking Services. We can issue a dispensation, free of charge to cover the period of time you hold the temporary vehicle.

Email parking.services@crawley.gov.uk with:

  • The current permit number
  • The registration of the temporary vehicle and
  • The period of time in which you will have the temporary vehicle

We issue dispensation for a maximum of two weeks. We will need confirmation from your insurance provider or the garage in writing if there is delay. 

The vehicle which holds the full time permit must not be parked in the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) if a dispensation is issued for a temporary vehicle. 

You must have a valid permit on display at all times during the proscribed hours of the CPZ or risk receiving a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

Change of vehicle

If you require a change of registration to your permit, we will need to see proof of ownership of the new vehicle.

The document must include:

  • Your full name
  • Registration of the new vehicle
  • A photo of the old permit cut up

There will be a £5 fee if the evidence of the cut up permit is received, or £10 if not.

Send the above to parking.services@crawley.gov.uk, including your current permit number and a contact number.
