       Strictly speaking the NTO could be served at any time after the
       expiry of the 28-day period in the PCN, i.e. any time after
       mid-Feb:
       Notice to owner
       20.—(1) Where—
       (a)a penalty charge notice has been given with respect to a
       vehicle under regulation 9, and
       (b)the period of 28 days specified in the penalty charge notice
       as the period within which the penalty charge is to be paid has
       expired without that charge being paid,
       the enforcement authority concerned may serve a notice (a
       “notice to owner”) on the person who appears to it to have been
       the owner of the vehicle when the alleged contravention
       occurred.
       However, the authority have compromised their position by
       undertaking to accept the discount as full settlement up to 10th
       July, they cannot therefore serve a NTO prior to this date. They
       could issue a NTO on 7th and if this was not served until 11th
       then they would be in the clear.
       But this is a risk they ran. And in this case the OP says they
       have evidence that the NTO was delivered prior to 11th.
       The grounds IMO are 'penalty exceeded the amount applicable...in
       the circumstances of the case.'

       I think the grounds are procedural impropriety, as that includes
       service of any document at a time when service is neither
       authorised nor required by the regulations. As you say, they ran
       a risk and it didn't work out for them.

       The regs only limit service of the NTO to any time after 28 days
       of the initial PCN not being paid and it's now nearly 5 months.
       What scuppers them is their undertaking, which is not regulatory
       but none the less fatal.
