Disabled Parking and Parking Requirements Related to Health or Mobility

Staff and students who have had their disability recognised by the issue of a Blue Badge or an EU Model Parking Card do not pay for parking at the University. However, you must still apply for a valid permit for the areas in which you wish to park.

Permit Types

A valid parking permit must be active for the vehicle in use, therefore an application for a disabled parking permit must be made.

City, King's Buildings and Easter Bush

Staff and students who wish to park within the City, King's Buildings or Easter Bush Campus car parks should apply for a Disabled All Areas Permit

BioQuarter (previously Little France) 

Staff and students who wish to park within the car parks at the BioQuarter site should apply for a Little France - Disabled Permit

How To Apply

Staff and students should submit an application and send a copy of their disabled badge or EU Model Parking Card to the Parking Office.

Staff

Staff members who are not eligible for a Blue Badge, but who require access to parking facilities related to health or mobility, and feel special consideration should be given, should contact the University Occupational Health Unit and complete a self referral form online. OHS will provide the Parking Office with an assessment of needs.
