PCN at my own driveway - pavement parking - Bexley
DIR By: cesur
Date: July 2, 2024, 1:44 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I am re-opening this topic that I had started in pepipoo forum.
I had parked in front of my house and partly on footpath. There
is a notice at the street entrance about parking in marked bays
which I wasn't aware.
Now my appeal has been rejected.
I have added the rejection letter in the evidence images:

To note, I will be abroad for 5 weeks soon. I need to ensure I
don't miss any correspondence to my address.
Is there any further advice on this one?
Thanks

I would consider making representations regarding permitted
exceptions for loading and unloading and the need to maintain an
observation period.
The PCN also does not seem to record the extra information
required. This is in the CEO handbook for a purpose (in my
opinion to identify whether there is any other safe location to
unload).
There are also permitted exemptions, 'DNOP,' for code 63
contravention. Perhaps you were waiting for the driveway to be
made clear before you entered it.
EXEMPTION O. A vehicle waiting while a gate or barrier is opened
closed
to allow access or departure to from premises
Check out:
HTML https://archive.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/parking-services/parking-and-traffic/parking-information-professionals/civil-enforcement
Code description:
Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath or any
part of the road other than a carriageway.
Code contravention:
The contravention occurs when a vehicle waits on any part of
a footpath or footway.
Extra information to be recorded:
• Number of wheels on the footway
• Diagram or photograph of the parking position.
Loading/unloading allowed:
Yes, but only if it is essential so as not to cause an
obstruction and cannot be carried out elsewhere.
Observation period:
If essential as described above, then yes.
Exemptions:
DNOP
Notes:
A footway means a way comprised in a road which also
comprises a carriageway, being a way over which the public
have a right of way on foot only.
A footpath means a highway over which the public have the
right of way on foot only, not being a footway.
Footway parking is allowed where signs and markings offcially
authorise them.

What we found regularly on the old site is that the exemption
for the kerb parking usually applied to the whole street, rather
than just the bays, one of the regulars will be along shortly to
confirm exactly what you need to ask for.

There is a notice at the street entrance about parking in marked
bays which I wasn't aware.
Dated GSV shows that there are more marked bays in this and
adjoining roads than one can shake a stick at, including one
behind your car. There isn't a photo of the sign in evidence and
GSV doesn't help. You need to do some legwork.
Are you the registered keeper with current V5C.

I can confirm the sign in your GSV image is still there.

What are the dates when you'll be away? Are you able to ask a
friend or neighbour to check your post for you?
