Why is docking permission denied?
I have noticed that under certain conditions a station will deny my docking request.
What are the various conditions that can cause a station to deny a commander's docking request?

I know this is an ancient question, but it still pops on the first page on Google.
While everything JonK said is absolutely correct, there is a way to "fix" the problem. If too many ships are docked at a station (usually only a problem if you have to land at one of those small stations with only 3 pads), jump in and out of supercruise. This will usually free the pads, unless they are occupied by other players.

This has been happening quite recently. Best way I found to fix it was to go back into supercruise and log out to menu and back in. Seems to fix the issue every time in solo at least.
