Parking that fits around your working day.
A contractor's vans overnight. Caravans between trips. A boat out of season. Those uses make different demands on the same corner of hardstanding.
Tell us what access you can allow and when you need the space back. We check the business requirement against that routine. We look at the movements as well as the parked vehicles, so an otherwise useful corner doesn't become a problem at the gate.
The movements matter as much as the spaces.
Vehicle dimensions, towing and turning room can matter as much as the area itself. We need to understand how often vehicles arrive or leave, where they wait, and how your own entrance and working routes would stay clear.
What makes a use fit here?
- Surface and drainage:
- the vehicles, weight and frequency of use proposed, alongside the condition of the surface and what happens in wet weather.
- Access times and gate control:
- who opens the gate, when collections happen and whether any access would fall outside the hours you allow.
- Security and boundaries:
- the existing gate, fence, lighting and separation from your own vehicles, buildings or home.
- Use and responsibilities:
- the intended activity and period, any consents or works, insurance and who handles keys, maintenance and incidents.
Different vehicles, different requirements.
Illustrative possibilities, not current enquiries or assessed sites.
- Trade vans:
- could weekday or overnight parking work without early starts or collections disrupting your own routine?
- Caravans and boats:
- do the dimensions, access dates and security fit a storage arrangement, with any on-site accommodation excluded if that is your rule?
- Plant and trailers:
- can the surface, turning space and gate route suit the proposed equipment and its movements?
Agree the arrangement before access starts.
The use, dates, access, payment, responsibilities, notice and handback need to be agreed for the actual arrangement. Permissions and any specialist checks still need considering. A spare area is a starting point for assessment.
GOV.UK: When is permission required?Tell us about the space and its limits.
Rough dimensions, the vehicles you could consider and the access times you would allow are enough to start. Your free Asset Passport follows our first conversation, by a date we agree.
