Provided that the vehicle is legal (current tax, insurance and MOT) then yes you can park it wherever it is legal to do so.
I believe that there may be caveats to consider if the vehicle is over 3.5T, and is an HGV, or is designed to carry, or is carrying dangerous loads (petrol tanker etc.)

The definitive answer is: It depends.
Why are you asking the question? Did the employer give you a company car to drive, and then put a rule that it could only be parked in their parking lot while at work? Under those circumstances you could not park it on the street without violating his express conditions.
Otherwise, if the street is available to general parking, no reason why you couldn't, unless: you are driving a commercial vehicle, and take it home to an exclusive community that doesn't allow commercial vehicles to be parked there overnight.
So again, maybe. What are the circumstances for your question?

Depends what vehicle. During the day you can park any vehicle on the street but in many streets there is a ban for overweight vehicles parking between 8pm and 8am in most area's. This applies for anything over a Luton size van - so no lorries, tow trucks etc. Applies mainly to residential streets and on industrial estates. Look for the yellow plate with a picture of a lorry and a coach on stating the time ban x

Not enough information to properly answer your question. Many communities, towns, and associations have rules that prohibit this, or restrict where and when a commercial vehicle can park. I'd suggest you check specifically where you want to park and when, then work in reverse. Thus deciding where and when to park and hopefully avoiding a picket or a tow bill or both. Some places can really be a pain about this.

Yes, but I am guessing that it may depend upon company rules, and type of vehicle.
Parking a fully laden petrol tanker in the high street would be a bit naughty.
Also Pool cars must be parked where anyone in the company can access them I think, otherwise they become personal property of the emplyeee as such, and would be taxed.

depends on which company you work for and the size of the vehicle.
If you are army an Abram m-1 tank is rather large to be parked on the street, not that anybody is going to argue, but if you work for JP's Rollerblades, then it will be OK to park on the street provided it is OK to park on the street per the authority having jurisdiction in your municipality
