if you can park without paying in ordinary bay depends on the rules for the particular car park. Some say Blue badge holders can park free anywhere, some say only in disabled spaces , some say everyone has to pay disabled or not and only provide the bays. There is nothing in law to say disabled bays have to be free , just that they have to be provided.
So be safe and free park on a yellow line!

A blue badge holder can park on double yellow for up to 3 hours; single yellow lines without a time limit.
A blue badge holder CANNOT park on double yellow if there are kerb markings (no loading) within the restricted time period. Check the number of kerb markings and the time plate.

In my opinion council car parks are being foolhardy if they charge blue badge holders for parking as that will encourage them to park on yellow lines for no payment.

Yes in a Norfolk car park.
Norfolk have disabled spaces but the charge is the same for everyone.
That's fine by me and getting a wider space is important. I had never been anywhere until 2013 where this rule applied.
I did once park in a non disabled space in Skegness where all the marked disabled bays were taken, I was right behind a used bay..Once again I received a fine.
