       OK great, thank you, Neil.
       I'll fix the issues as you suggested and submit the same appeal
       for both.
       Yes, speak later when it gets rejected (comforting to know we've
       got a perfectly functional and predictable system here ::).

       "permit parking area”
       an area—
       (a)
       into which each entrance for vehicular traffic has been
       indicated by the sign provided for at item 5 of the sign table
       in Part 3 of Schedule 5; and
       (b)
       where any parking place within that area reserved for the use of
       the permit holders as indicated on that sign is not shown by
       markings on the road (whether or not an upright sign is placed
       next to, or near, such a parking place to indicate that only the
       permit holders in question may use the place)
       The presumption beyond the sign is that every length of
       carriageway adjacent to the kerb IS a dedicated parking place
       reserved for holders of your permit!
       The disabled bay and that adjoining are marked at right-angles
       to the kerb(and signed which is permissible)
       You were parked at right-angles to the kerb where there were no
       bay markings....
       ..= you were parked in a 'dedicated parking place' reserved for
       holders of your permit.
       The contravention therefore fails on this limb as well.
       Frankly, IMO it's a nonsense having a PPA in this area because
       of the irregular shapre of the carriageway. But the sign is
       there.

       I see, thank you for your explanation.
       If I'm getting this right, they've actually stated this in their
       reply to my informal appeal but cited it as grounds for issuing
       the ticket because I double parked:
       'In any road designated as a restricted street the complete
       width of the street, from the building line on either side of
       the street, is included in the restriction. It is therefore a
       contravention to ‘Double Park’ in any part of the street,
       whether adjacent to vehicles parked on yellow lines or in any
       form of parking bay or place.'
       I'll post the appeal as above. I'm expecting rejection no matter
       what I write since it's the same party reviewing it. Then I'm
       counting on the impartial review at the tribunals to work in my
       favour.

       Happy New Year all!
       Well, I must say I never expected this but my formal appeal was
       accepted.
       I wonder what they're on about about 'being unable to retrieve
       important information'.
       Probably realized a) they cocked up, b) I won't go down without
       a fight and dropped it?
       I might politely enquire at some point since I do plan to use
       that very same spot for parking in the future.

       Well done! Always have a go.
       And thank you for reporting back the outcomes. All too often we
       never hear back.
