Cancelling your permit and refunds

If you no longer need your parking permit, we'll give you a refund:

We divide the original cost of the permit by the duration of the permit (i.e. by six or 12 months) to give a monthly refund amount.
We multiply this monthly amount by the number of full calendar months left on the permit.
We then round down the refund amount to the nearest whole pound (£).

Where possible, refunds will be processed back to the original payment card, normally within 14 days of the date we receive your request. If we are unable to refund back to a payment card, we will ask you for a UK bank account to pay the refund into.

A BVP offers convenient parking in nearby bays during the controlled hours of the zone the business is in.

The permit is available to businesses located in a controlled parking zone (CPZ) in H&F. Business rates bill is required during the application process.

All day trader permits

An all day trader permit is intended to be used by builders, traders and other service providers who require on-street parking when working for a local resident or business.

Anyone can apply. The permit allows a driver to park their vehicle, in a shared use bay, outside or close to the property they are working for eight hours (9am-5pm), at a cost of £30. Where operational hours start before 9am the session will still cover you to park until 5pm.

The trade permit is only valid for the vehicle it has been purchased for and is not transferable. It is non-refundable and does not guarantee a parking space, so we recommended you purchase the permit once you have found a parking space.

This permit type does not allow a driver to move onto other streets in the borough, it is designed to provide parking at one specific location.

If you are not going to park outside the same property for the working day, please use the on-street RingGo codes provided.
