PCN Appeal Horizon Parking Ltd Royal Forest Hotel Location
DIR By: John121
Date: February 25, 2026, 10:52 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I received the PCN below for the reason stated as Failure to
pay or register for the full duration of stay (ANPR).
At the time, I was conducting a driving lesson and using the car
park to practise manoeuvres. I also parked briefly and exited
the car park to explain the route to my student. I do not recall
seeing any signage, although I accept that there may have been
signs in place.
In hindsight, it was probably not the most appropriate location
to carry out this activity. I would appreciate advice on whether
there are any valid grounds for appeal, or if it would be better
to pay the reduced amount within the early payment period.

They don't appear to be relying on PoFA so you could send the
following response;
I am the registered keeper.
You state that your notice is not attempting to use PoFA to
transfer liability from the driver to the registered keeper.
As your notice is not PoFA compliant I will not be accepting any
liability for the outstanding parking charges.
The driver is not known to you and I will not be providing any
driver details.
Your options are;
Cancel the notice
OR
Waste more money and provide a POPLA Code.
Many thanks,
xxxxxx xxxxxxxx

Apologies, Im still getting my head around all of this and just
want to make sure Im doing the right thing.
Is it ok to send the below template, along the lines of the
below?
PCN NO: XXX
Vehicle Registration: XXX
I am the keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your 'parking
charge'. I deny any liability or contractual
agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory
conduct to your client landowner.
As your Notice to Keeper (NtK) does not fully comply with ALL
the requirements of PoFA 2012, you
are unable to hold the keeper of the vehicle liable for the
charge. Partial or even substantial
compliance is not sufficient. There will be no admission as to
who was driving and no inference or
assumptions can be drawn. UKPE has relied on contract law
allegations of breach against the driver
only.
The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have
been the driver, nor pursued under
some twisted interpretation of the law of agency. Your NtK can
only hold the driver liable. UKPE have
no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a complete
waste of time and cancel the PCN.

Apologies ive just realised I added the wrong template which was
one my uncle gave me for UKPE.
Please let me know if the below is ok to send off?
Many Thanks
PCN No: [XXXX]
Vehicle Registration: [XXXX]
I am the registered keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your
parking charge.
Your Notice to Keeper does not invoke or rely upon Schedule 4 of
the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 and therefore you are unable
to transfer liability to the keeper.
As you have chosen not to use the provisions of POFA, only the
driver can be held liable. I am under no obligation to identify
the driver and I will not be doing so.
There is no legal basis to pursue me as keeper and any
suggestion otherwise would be misconceived.
Please therefore cancel the PCN or issue a POPLA code so that
the matter may be referred to independent adjudication.
I do not consent to the processing of my data beyond that
necessary to respond to this appeal.

Again, looks fine.
I wouldn't over think things too much at this point.
The operator will almost certainly come up with a 'reasonable
assumption' based argument as a response as they have no other
option.

Horizon are one of the few who do often give up when they know
they've not complied with PoFA.
