Parking permit scheme

A parking permit scheme is available for anyone who lives, or who has a business, within the resident zone in Great Yarmouth. This scheme is administered by King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council and it works alongside Norfolk County Council to run this.

If your property falls within the resident parking zone, you will be eligible to apply for a permit.
The permit is a virtual permit so you will not need to display a permit in your vehicle.
The permit is for vehicles that will be parked on the street within the resident zone. You do not need a permit to park on your driveway.
Motorbikes, mopeds and all powered two wheelers do not require a permit.
Any resident with a vehicle registered at an address within the zone can apply for a permit. If your household has more than one vehicle registered to your address, all vehicles will need a permit to park on the street.
If you have regular visitors to your property, you can also apply for one visitor permit per property address.
If you are a business within the resident parking zone, you can apply for one business permit and one business visitor permit.
