They are not valid on yellow lines, in business only bays, in disabled bays, in pay and display only bays, at meters, in motorcycle bays (unless being displayed by a motorcycle) or in Hounslow Council car parks and not on a yellow line restriction.
They only relate to the vehicle whose registration number is shown on the permit and are not transferable.
