PCN NCP Drop off Birmingham airport late exit
DIR By: Phil123

---------------------------------------------------------
Hello, new to the forum hoping for some advice please. I have
received a parking charge letter for NCP drop off at Birmingham
airport as the registered keeper of the vehicle. The free period
for the drop off is 10 minutes. On the letter, 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. Anyway, 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 Kindly.
I know I should upload pics of the letter but I can’t seem to
find an option to do so. I would appreciate instructions on this
if needed. Thanks

Lots of cases for airports on the forum if you search, such as

/>which includes

> Dear Sirs,

vehicle registration mark _______, in which you allege that the
driver has incurred a parking charge. I am appealing as the
registered keeper of the vehicle. There is no obligation for me
to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I note from your
correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the
registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of
Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act").

not "relevant land" as defined by The Act you are unable to
recover the charge from me, the keeper.

> I am therefore unable to help you further with this matter,
and look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been
cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you must issue
a POPLA code.

Thank you very much. Yes, I had seen a post about Manchester
airport but was unsure if the relevant land but applied to
Birmingham too or any other airport. Thank you. Do I need to
mention the fact that the letter arrived to me after the pay by
date? Thank you.

No.
If you give them multiple reasons they will sieze on the ones
they can rebut and simply ignore the others.
Give them just one reason.

Just about all airports have land subject to statutory control
under byelaws and are therefore not “relevant land” under the
provision of PoFA 2012. Parking companies sometimes allude to
land ownership as reason why particular parts of land, eg
Starbucks etc. at Stansted, aren’t covered, but they’re wrong.
Sometimes you need to research the byelaws and the land covered,
but in this particular case it’s clear. There are multiple
documented cases for Birmingham Airport on this forum.
