Doctor’s parking bay permit
You will need this form if:
- you are applying for a doctor’s parking bay to be sited near
your surgery
- you are applying for a permit to use a Doctor’s bay associated
with your surgery
- you are replacing a permit that has been lost, stolen or
destroyed
- you have changed your vehicle (even if only temporary)
- you have changed your vehicle’s registration;
- you have changed your name or surgery address
This permit allows parking in a specific doctor’s bay only.
Who qualifies for a Doctor’s parking bay and permit?
General practitioners (GPs) can get a parking bay in certain
circumstances.
New applicants applying for a doctor’s parking bay will have to
meet the following four conditions:
- you must be a legally qualified GP who is a principal
or partner with your own list of patients, or an assistant or
trainee GP (as evidence an insurance indemnity document must show
that you are engaged for at least three quarters of your time in
the capacity of a general medical practitioner)
- you must provide at least 50 per cent of your medical services,
including a full-time emergency service, from a practice in the
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea - your surgery must keep
regular surgery hours on weekdays
- it must be likely that you will be called away from the
practice to deal with emergencies (the average number of emergency
visits per month to be disclosed on the application form)
- the Cabinet Member of the Council must agree that parking
conditions in the area around your practice are particularly
difficult compared with the borough as a whole (this decision can
take several months to be approved)
You must send us original documents with your application as we
will not accept photocopied, faxed or scanned documents.
If the Council agrees to create a new doctor’s parking bay, you
will receive a doctors parking permit that allows you to park in
that specific bay only.
Every time you apply to renew your parking bay permit, we will
review your need for it.
Location of a doctor’s parking bay
Although we will carefully consider each application, the
Council’s decision on where to put any particular bay is final.
We consider the following main points when we decide where to
place a parking bay and particular markings.
If we provide a parking bay, it
will be as near as possible to your practice. However, when we
consider your application we must remember our legal duties and
powers.
