I see the obvious route as agreeing to exchange with completion subject to the council giving permission.

Sellers be like 'what if council says no?'

I'd be tempted to say 'given you can't clarify if you are actually allowed to park on your land or not, I'd like £20k (or whatever) off the asking price. Ta.'

Can you call the council and ask about residents parking rights? You'll probably find that these are not enforced but they reserve the right to sell permits to residents in the future.

Ask the council directly.

[Edit]

Did not read further that you had done so...
