Could someone suggest why CBC needs to see a car's insurance and registration documents before issuing a parking permit for it?
-
It's just to prove that you arnt getting the permit for a vehicle not registered at your address. If it is a company car it won't be registered to the home address but the insurance will state where it is kept.
Don't agree with the price of these at all though, maybe just a small admin fee or a green man to police each street!

What does it matter where it's registered?

Maintenance of signs and re-marking of lines probably comes into it as it does with protected entrance markings

I once had this argument with a business holder who claimed he was living in a flat above his business and could thus have a parking permit for his car. What he didn't realise was that as a council auditor I had access to the council tax records. When I told him we would be sending. Council tax bill for the flat he withdrew his request for the permit.

Couldn't he have registered his car at his business address to obtain a permit?
-
Nope. The clue is in the title. Residents parking permits :-)

Which is the point I'm making - a car doesn't have to be registered at the owner's residence. What if it's registered outside Chesterfield but the owner lives here - as is the case with the trainee paramedics who live next door to me. CBC asking to see the registration document proves nothing.

Example - lets all apply for parking permits to park outside our local school.
Everybody would want them.
The increase in cost from the earlier scheme was a massive jump.
