Parked on tapered (sloping) part of a dropped kerb - Redbridge -
Driveway

Hello
need some advice my partner parked what they thought as not
blocking access to the persons driveway. But has been issued
with a PCN, pics were taken which show the vehicle is not
preventing access to the driveway, but I want to know, should we
appeal it and if yes, on what grounds?
Please see pics and PCN - cant figure out how to uploaded
images?
Thanks
Fed the info to AI and this is what it states, of course I would
like to verify this with someone other than AI
The contravention did not occur.
The CEO’s photographs do not show my vehicle adjacent to any
fully lowered section of the
kerb. All eight images provided by the council show only the
vehicle and the surrounding
street, but none show the kerb height, the dropped section, or
the position of the wheels
relative to the fully lowered footway.
A Code 27 contravention requires the vehicle to be adjacent to
the fully lowered part of the
kerb, not the sloping/tapered section. As the council has
provided no evidence of this, the
contravention is not proven and the PCN must be cancelled.

The sloping stone doesn't count.
Are these the council's pics?
I'd say no contravention and not concede anything.

Hello
Thanks for responding, the images I had in the link are not from
the council but they are very identical.
Let me try to send them across, if I can figure out how to add
images, as clicking on attachments and other options doesn't
provide me with the option to upload images
Can't figure out how I add them, so attached them to the other
forum, sorry

Hello
Just wondering if you'd seen my pics, from the council and if
you had any views?

Just to confirm that your AI friend of choice is correct.
To be in contravention the vehicle must be adjacent to the
lowered kerb.
Parking alongside sloping kerb is not a contravention in itself.
This is a sure fire win. Keep challenging. Although your partner
may have to persevere and go to tribunal as some councils are
ignorant of the law, and will reject.

Thanks for responding - AI actually claims most definitely the
council will reject the appeal, issue is, its not its money if
this fails at tribunal, but it's good to see you are in
agreement, as I like a human to verify what AI says
