Licence applications and processes
420.Section 76 sets out provision that may be included in a workplace parking licensing scheme. Subsection (1) provides that a scheme may include provision for or in connection with: dealing with applications; granting, issuing and renewing licences; imposing conditions on a licence; the standard duration of a licence; how a licence may be varied or revoked and suspending the requirement to hold a licence for a period and reimbursement of charges for that period.
421.Subsections (2) to (4) allow schemes to make provision for the granting of short-term workplace parking licences in special circumstances. Such licences (or a series of such licences taken together) may not be granted for a period exceeding 12 months.
422.Subsection (5) gives the Scottish Ministers the power to make regulations around reviews and appeals provisions in workplace parking schemes.
423.Subsection (6) creates an offence of intentionally providing false or misleading information as part of an application for a workplace parking licence. Where a person is found guilty of this offence they are liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum (currently £10,000) and, on conviction on indictment, to a fine.
