Parking Charge PPS - Parking in no parking area
DIR By: tawnyess

What a silly charge. Apace car park, UB3. The driver used this
area to do a U-TURN and ends up getting a parking charge.
Addressed to me correctly as the registered keeper.

Yes, it’s silly, and shows how greedy these parking companies
are.
In your shoes I would “appeal” saying something along the lines
of
- The driver did not park, the driver simply performed a U-turn
in front of the cameras
- The registered keeper will not be paying
- The notice is not compliant with the Protections of Freedoms
Act 2012 because it does not identify a “period of parking”,
because there wasn’t one
There’s probably not much point saying much more, because
they’ll likely reject your appeal “after careful consideration”,
forcing you go make a more detailed “appeal” to POPLA.

The NtK is non-PoFA compliant for many reasons.
I would add a sarcastic line in my appeal, namely;
Your notice states that the period of parking relates to the
time immediately preceding the stated date and time on the
notice - in this instance the driver wasn't even in your car
park in the preceding time period!

I emailed in an appeal and it’s been cancelled. See below
communication
From me:
I am writing to appeal the Parking Charge Notice 510825136
issued to my vehicle. I can confirm I am the registered keeper
of the vehicle F1 XNX
The allegation that the vehicle was parked is simply incorrect.
The driver did not park at any point. The vehicle merely entered
the area in order to perform a U-turn in front of your ANPR
cameras before immediately leaving. There was no parking event
whatsoever.
As the registered keeper, I will not be making any payment in
respect of this Parking Charge Notice.
Furthermore, your Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the
requirements of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act
2012. In particular, it does not identify any "period of
parking" as required by the legislation. Instead, it relies
solely on timestamps of entry and exit, which do not and cannot
establish a period of parking—especially in circumstances where
there was no parking at all.
Your notice also states that the "period of parking" relates to
the time immediately preceding the stated date and time on the
notice. That is an imaginative interpretation of the
legislation. In this case, the driver was not even in your car
park during the period immediately preceding the stated date and
time, making your assertion not merely inaccurate but rather
impressively detached from the actual facts.
Since there was no parking event and your Notice to Keeper is
not compliant with Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act
2012, you have no basis to pursue the registered keeper for this
charge.
I therefore require you to cancel this Parking Charge Notice.
Should you reject this appeal, please provide the verification
code required to enable an independent appeal, together with
copies of all evidence you intend to rely upon, including the
full, unredacted ANPR records and a copy of the contract or
authority permitting you to operate and enforce parking charges
at this location.
I look forward to your confirmation that this Parking Charge
Notice has been cancelled.
Response from PPS:
Dear Appellant,
Thank you for your correspondence.
Following a review of the information available, we can confirm
that Parking Charge Notice 510825136 has now been cancelled.
This case is now closed and no further action is required.
Yours sincerely,

Sensible result following a strong “appeal”, good.
