New bay, existing bay or estate parking?

A new permit-holder bay

New applications are free. Check your Blue Badge, qualifying benefit eligibility, resident driver and document requirements first. The council states a minimum processing time of three months.

Convert an existing disabled bay

Changing an existing disabled bay to a permit-holder bay carries a one-off £200 charge. Contact the council’s Disabled Bay team about that conversion.

Private development or council estate

Use the property management company for a private development, or the estate manager for council-managed housing. The public-road application is not the correct route for those locations.

Who may park in the bay?

A general signed disabled bay can be used by any valid Blue Badge holder. Enfield’s numbered permit-holder bay is reserved for the specified vehicle; the two bay types should not be confused.
