Parking Permits

Parking permits are required in the car parks of certain buildings we manage on behalf of Southend City Council, namely; Malvern/Chiltern/Pennine/5-29a Sutton Road, Balmoral, and Quantock.

It is the tenant/leaseholders responsibility to ensure that they have a valid parking permit for the parking schemes that they reside in and they should ensure that either a new application or renewal application is made in sufficient time. 

Permit application process

Applications are processed within 14 calendar days from the date we receive your application. However, if additional information or evidence is required, a new 14 calendar day timescale will start from the date we receive it.

Renewing your Permit

Permits can be renewed up to 4 weeks in advance of their expiry date. South Essex Homes are not liable for any parking tickets that are incurred where vehicles do not have a valid parking permit, or for any parking tickets issued by Southend City Council while you are parked in one of the locations listed above.
