England and Wales

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

A local authority may refuse to issue a badge on any of the grounds specified in paragraph (2).

(2)

The grounds are —

(a)

the applicant holds or has held a badge issued under these Regulations or under the 1982 Regulations and misuse has led to at least three relevant convictions;

(b)

the applicant fails to provide the local authority with adequate evidence—

(i)

in the case of an individual, that he or she is a person who fits one or more of the descriptions prescribed by regulation 4; or

(ii)

in the case of an institution, that it is an institution eligible to apply for a disabled person’s badge in accordance with regulation 5;

(c)

the applicant fails to pay the fee (if any) chargeable for the issue of a badge; or

(d)

the local authority has reasonable grounds for believing —

(i)

that the applicant is not the person claimed to be; or

(ii)

that the applicant would permit another person (to whom the badge was not issued) to display it on a motor vehicle.

(3)

When a local authority receives an application for a disabled person’s badge and refuses to issue one, it shall give the applicant particulars of the grounds of refusal in its notice of determination.
