New Pippin Car Park | ANPR 5 Hipswell Hwy, Coventry CV2 5EP

New Pippin Car Park is a gated surface facility employing ANPR technology, owned and managed by Coventry City Council. It provides 180 parking bays including ten disabled spaces located near the entry barrier. Entry and exit are automated—registered vehicles are whitelisted in advance, opening the barrier seamlessly; casual users must register via the council parking portal to receive a QR code which is scanned at entry. The car park operates 24/7, with LED high-mast lighting ensuring visibility, and a network of six CCTV cameras covering all entry, exit, and pedestrian routes. The tarmac surface is graded for drainage, with annual resurfacing and quarterly line repainting. Pedestrian gates lead to Hipswell Highway residential areas (2-minute walk), nearby retail outlets (3 minutes), and a cycle path connecting to Coventry University (5 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are located adjacent to the barrier, bookable online for pay-as-you-go charging. Height clearance is 2.5 m; signage warns against oversized vehicles. Regular overnight security patrols are conducted by a contracted firm to enforce ANPR compliance.
