Councils are currently addressing the provision of new Blue Badge parking spaces and managing appeals against badge refusals.

Harrow Council's Planning Committee approved a development in July 2026, which includes a Section 106 agreement to fund £9,000 for new on-street Blue Badge parking spaces, designated for individuals with disabilities who hold a Blue Badge permit. This decision supports the provision of accessible parking as part of new residential and commercial developments.

Separately, Kingston upon Thames' Blue Badge Appeals Panel met in October 2025 to hear an appeal concerning the refusal of a Blue Badge. This panel, comprising councillors, considers individual cases to protect personal information.
