Notes to applicant

1. Dispensations will only be granted in exceptional or pressing circumstances and are not intended to provide "convenience" parking. Parking a van containing small hand tools or materials for the day's work or a vehicle that carries workers to and from a site are considered "convenience parking". The normal regulations for loading / unloading or setting down passengers already cover these eventualities. Generally speaking dispensations are only relevant to cope with major site deliveries and refurbishments, which may take more than 20 minutes to complete.
2. Each application must be accompanied by payment of £13.50. Payment can be made by postal order or cheque made payable to Conwy County Borough Council) and returned with your completed application to:
   
   
   
   Parking Services,
   Conwy County Borough Council,
   PO BOX 146,
   Llandudno,
   LL30 9BR
3. Payment is for the assessment of the application and does not guarantee the issue of a dispensation or parking space
4. It will normally take at least 48 hours for a parking dispensation application to be processed. Time should be added for delays caused by the post. Genuine emergency situations will not be subject to the 48 hour notice period.
