There are, I believe, two different on road parking schemes (CPZs) in Oxford.
The first was a Resident Parking scheme with restrictions that applied 24/7.
Later on, a second scheme, Community Parking was introduced, this operates
monday to friday between about 9am to 5pm, times do vary on adjacent roads.
Permits are required for on road parking in these areas. The number of permits
per residence is restricted.

Can I have a residents parking permit?
Most properties in the parking zones are eligible, but new or recent
conversions are frequently excluded from any on street parking eligibility.
Most zones have a limit of 2 resident permits, and each resident can only have
1 car. The vehicle must be registered in the name of the applicant, although
some company cars are also eligible.

In Mark Road, 4 permits are allowed.
In Margaret Road, where the old pimary/junior schools have been converted to 56
flats only 28 parking places are on site with NO on road parking permits
allowed.
When the CPZs came in around the NOC area and later HQ area the reduction in
parking around Rock Edge and adjacent roads was very noticeable during the day
during the major building works at the NOC was underway.
When the CPZs come in near multiple occupancy residences this will force some
student parking off the roads, they will not be able to get permits. Parking
attendants do travel around and issue fines albeit not in every road everyday.
This is perhaps an indirect way to control students having cars in Oxford.
