PCN - South Kensington (Hereford Square) - Not parked correctly
within markings
DIR By: Drogo
Date: May 16, 2024, 5:54 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Paid parking but was issued PCN for “not parked correctly within
the markings of the bay”. After paying extortionate parking fees
in Central London (South Kensington & Chelsea - Hereford Square)
was nevertheless issued this PCN. My wife could have parked
better agree…my initial informal appeal was rejected…how can I
successfully appeal this in a formal representation? It’s now
gone to £120. What reasons can I give? See pics below

There's a strict process and deadlines for dealing with Penalty
Charge Notices.
You're asking for help appealing a Notice to Owner that was sent
over two months ago, which is a bit worrying.
There's a 28 day limit for paying or challenging a Notice to
Owner. If you miss that, they close the appeals process and
increase the penalty to £120. When they do this, they send
another letter called a Charge Certificate.
You might want to check your mail carefully because London
councils don't mess around and the chances that they haven't
sent a charge certificate a month after they're entitled to are
vanishingly slim.
Are you sure the Notice to Owner is the latest thing you've
received from the council?

Nope only this so far. What reasons can I provide for an appeal
if any?

Check the status of the PCN on the Council's web-site. How much
are the Council demanding?

Pick up your initial reps and submit again. It's still £120 but
they could disregard even though a CC has not been issued.
My suggestion.
Dear Sir
I know that the authority rejected my initial representations
but would ask that these are looked at afresh particularly given
that I and the driver have unblemished PCN records (if true).
While it's clear that my car was parked across inter-bay lines,
it's also the case that the square was empty and that no
disbenefit was suffered by anyone. The driver also paid £*** to
park. I submit that this should be a case where the authority
chooses to exercise discretion either entirely or by re-offering
the discount which, although not my preferred option, I would
pay.
Thank you.
And send it today pl online. You don't have statutory defence
grounds so pl don't waste time looking for any. No-one has a
silver bullet* and discretion is your best bet at this point.
*- we haven't looked at the traffic order neither do you have
time to do so.

Actually just found in the post a charge notice but for some
reason when I log online I can still make a representation. Am I
wasting my time here? As in once the charge notice has been
issued it’s game over?

Try and make reps. Sorry to say this, but you are wasting time
firing questions.
As I posted, they could disregard* even if a CC hasn't been
issued.
* - the statutory time limit for the authority to have to
consider formal reps is 28 days beginning on the day of service
of the NTO. As observed by others, you're miles past this.
Come back here after you've tried to submit and update us pl.

[member=1756]Drogo[/member] I recommend you do as H C Andersen
suggests as a matter of urgency, if you have not done so
already.
The traffic order will almost certainly be The Kensington and
Chelsea (Charged-For Parking Places) Consolidation Order 2023
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KvR1GoiFM7wG6Tm_1nQXJ6UvZk0RmXNS/view<br
/>but you don't have time to look into that now.
