       Code 12- Barnet Woodlands

       Hi
       I've received this PCN for being parked outside my building in a
       resident permit zone (I have a garage so I never bothered buying
       a permit). I was literally running in for a minute to pick
       something up from my flat (hence I didn't park in the garage) so
       it couldn't have taken more than 5-6 mins for me to take the
       lift up, get the item (after a short search) and come back out.
       Just my luck- when I came out I saw the PCN already there.
       I was shocked because there was no way the CEO could've observed
       for any substantial amount of time, and when I checked the PCN-
       it shows I was observed from 11:17 - 11:17! (All pictures within
       that time frame too).
       I'm sure I can get this one cancelled- I just want some help in
       drafting the best possible challenge.
       Thanks

       This is unfortunate as it's one of Barnet's commuter zones and
       the bay is restricted only from 11am to noon.
       What were you getting as loading is an exemption.
       Otherwise you'll probably have to grovel saying you are a
       resident and just parked briefly to get something.
       Yes, council guidance usually says a vehicle should be observed
       for up to 5 mins in some situations to see if there is exempt
       activity but if there was no exempt activity... you can get away
       with it by encountering the CEO but they may have started to
       prepare a PCN you'll get by post if you drive away.
