Resident parking access=permit (GB)

In the wiki for Street parking - Residential parking permits, parking zones, using permit as an access value is excluded because a ‘resident parking permit is not “routinely granted to everyone requesting it”’.

The wording of this page also came up recently in discussing an access value for permits that aren’t granted routinely, not just for street parking:

@Minh_Nguyen

Despite the wording of the access=permit draft proposal, access=permit is already routinely being used for a variety of permissiveness, anything from “just ask” (some protected areas) to “boarding pass required” (after security at an airport) to “resident permit only” (street parking). It was inevitable given the plain English meaning of the word “permit”. Some of these uses have already been tagged with permit=* or parking:*:permit=* to clarify the intent.
