APCOA Parking Charge Manchester Airport
DIR By: 3Sh3roo
Date: June 3, 2025, 6:04 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
The driver dropped someone off at airport, they actually paid
for the parking but they made a mistake in that they entered the
wrong drop off time (see attached). Can you please advise best
way to appeal this, should the registered keeper appeal and
share the receipt or argue a contravention, if so please advise
which one, thank you in advance.

The driver dropped someone off.
As Manchester Airport is subject to byelaws, it is subject to
"statutory control", and as such, not relevant land for the
purposes of Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act,
meaning they cannot hold the keeper liable. You could therefore
appeal along the lines of the below:
[indent]Dear Sirs,
I have received your Parking Charge Notice (Ref: ______) for
vehicle registration mark _______, in which you allege that the
driver has incurred a parking charge. I am appealing as the
registered keeper of the vehicle. There is no obligation for me
to name the driver and I will not be doing so. I note from your
correspondence that you are not seeking to hold me liable as the
registered keeper, under Schedule 4 of the Protection of
Freedoms Act 2012 ("The Act").
Even if you were seeking to do so, as the Manchester Airport
Upper Drop Off Forecourt T2 is not "relevant land" as defined by
The Act you are unable to recover the charge from me, the
keeper.
I am therefore unable to help you further with this matter, and
look forward to your confirmation that the charge has been
cancelled. If you choose to decline this appeal, you must issue
a POPLA code.
Yours,[/indent]
If appealing online, make sure there are no drop down boxes etc.
that force/trick you into revealing who was driving - you are
appealing as the keeper, and saying nothing about who was
driving.

You should modify your first post so that you no longer identify
the driver.

Anyone prepared to accept a bet for £25 that APCOA will respond
with a letter that says: "the driver is a very naughty person
and must not break APCOA's self imposed rules as it deprives
them of sustenance. However, on this occasion, they will let you
off and don't be so naughty in future."
(silence...) thought so! :-\

Edited. Car reg being visible no great issue.

As expected. However, they've now shortened their response.
I'm expecting two PCNs for picking up and dropping off at
Manchester Airport last week. Whilst I don't condone everyone to
do this, personally, I refuse to pay the rip-off charges.

Out of interest, is there anyone aware of any of these airport
PPN`s actually going to court?
