Help Needed: PCN for Code 48J - Stopped in a Restricted Area
(BARNET COUNCIL)

Hi everyone,
I recently received a PCN for "Contravention Code 48J: Stopped
in a restricted area outside a school, hospital, or a fire,
police, or ambulance station when prohibited (camera
enforcement)." This occurred on Montagu Road (Ayesha Community
School) on 19/12/2024 at 18:32.
I believe this notice is unfair as I was not stopping but
waiting to enter a parking bay. You can see from the video that
my vehicle was moving while waiting for another car to exit the
bay. I was not idling or parked, just trying to access the
parking space.
I’d really appreciate advice on how to challenge this PCN. Is
there a way to present the video evidence showing my movement,
and do I have strong grounds to appeal this?
Any help or guidance on how to word my appeal or any successful
experiences with similar cases would be great!
Thanks in advance!

The driver was stationary(albeit not touching the markings but
as I understand it adjudicators take the view that the
prohibition extends beyond the markings themselves) on the
markings which GSV (albeit several years old) shows is
accompanied by the required sign for a period which IMO would
not be considered de minimis and therefore the contravention is
proved. Being stopped for the purpose of accessing a parking
place which at that time was not vacant(and therefore stopping
was not incidental to manoeuvring into the parking place) is not
a defence - see para. 4 of Part 6 here:
