Ncp parking ticket - birmingham airport

Dear FTLA Team,
You previously helped me challenge a parking ticket, and I would
like to ask for your advice before I decide whether to pay or
appeal this new one.
I have received a PCN from NCP for Birmingham Airport Premium
Set Down. The vehicle was recorded entering at 03:07:15 and
exiting at 03:10:34, so the total time on site was only about 3
minutes and 19 seconds.
This was my first Uber trip to that part of Birmingham Airport.
It was dark, there was no barrier, and I did not notice any
clear payment signage or obvious payment point. I also did not
receive the first PCN/Notice to Keeper, so this is the first
time I became aware of it.
Before I pay £100 charge or contact NCP, please could you advise
whether this is worth challenging, especially on the basis of
the short stay, lack of clear signage, no barrier, and the fact
that I did not receive the first notice?

Please search the forum, for example
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/ncp-birmingham-airport-drop-off-lease-car/msg88083/#msg88083
Nothing to do with any of the things you say; simply that if the
driver is not identified then there is no legal route to
transfer liability to the registered keeper.
The lease/hirer doesn’t apply here, but the PoFA transfer does,
so feel free to post a draft response here first.
NCP has history of cancelling in the face of a valid appeal, so
hopefully this will be the case here. However, you are likely
beyond their appeal deadline, so you may need to go through more
stages. Keep us informed!

Thanks for your guidance.
Based on your advice, I have removed references to the driver,
Uber trip, signage, barrier and grace period, and have drafted
the appeal as registered keeper only.
Please see my draft below before I submit it to NCP:
Dear NCP,
PCN Reference: BIA101422853
Vehicle Registration: AK17EWS
I am the registered keeper of the vehicle and I dispute
liability for this Parking Charge Notice.
I decline to identify the driver.
The alleged contravention occurred at Birmingham Airport Premium
Set Down. Birmingham Airport is subject to airport byelaws and
is therefore land under statutory control. As such, it is not
“relevant land” for the purposes of Schedule 4 of the Protection
of Freedoms Act 2012.
As the driver has not been identified, and as there is no lawful
route to transfer liability to me as the registered keeper, NCP
cannot hold me liable for this charge.
Please cancel the PCN.
If you refuse to cancel it, please issue a POPLA verification
code and provide a full explanation of your legal basis for
pursuing the registered keeper despite the land being subject to
airport byelaws.
Yours faithfully,

Hello, new to the forum so I am not sure how to ask a new
question. I hope it is ok to post here. I have received a
parking charge letter for NCP drop off at Birmingham airport.
The free period for the drop off is 10 minutes. Entry time is
16.32, exit time is 16.45 - only 3 minutes more than allowed.
Though I appreciate it is later than the allowed time, this was
minimal. Also, it was not me driving. On top of this, the letter
says date of sending 30/3/26, pay by date 27/4/26 and I have 14
days to pay the reduced fine of £60 otherwise it will be £100
but I only received the letter on 29/4/26. Is there any way to
appeal this and actually not pay it at all please? I much
appreciate any help. Thank you.
