Residential Streets Around Graylingwell Drive
Parking around the hospital should be approached as a controlled hospital and residential area rather than as a dependable overflow zone. The main hospital car park is accessed through a barrier, and the operator describes capacity as limited (sussexpartnership.nhs.uk). Pay-and-display and designated disabled parking are provided on the hospital site (sussexcommunity.nhs.uk).
Drivers leaving a car on nearby residential streets still need to follow the signs and markings in force at the individual space. A hospital appointment is not an exemption from local restrictions, and blocking driveways, junctions or access routes can make it harder for residents and emergency vehicles to pass. Using a listed space or the hospital’s marked parking areas is safer than relying on an unmarked roadside gap.
Drop-Off and Arrival Advice for Hospital Visitors
Graylingwell Drive is the hospital address, and the main car park entrance uses a barrier (sussexpartnership.nhs.uk). The hospital operator says parking is limited, so arriving with enough time to find a marked bay is particularly important for scheduled appointments (sussexpartnership.nhs.uk). The community trust confirms that pay-and-display and disabled parking are available on site (sussexcommunity.nhs.uk).
For a short collection or drop-off, the hospital tariff provides up to 15 minutes free (uhsussex.nhs.uk).
Walking and Public Transport to the Hospital

Public transport is encouraged by the community trust as part of its sustainability programme (sussexcommunity.nhs.uk). Visitors arriving by rail can allow 21 minutes for the walk from Chichester station, with extra time for navigating the hospital site after reaching Graylingwell Drive.
