Thank you. Should I just appeal on the basis of sch 2 para 2 or
should I also include the previous arguments the driver had
mentioned in the representation?

Please let me know if the below draft is ok to be sent:
Dear Sirs,
I would like to appeal the penalty charge served upon me.
The council has allowed parking on both sides of the road just a
few meters ahead of where the car was parked. To any layman it
would appear or make sense to follow the line and length of the
car parked ahead as the road is as narrow and there is an
underground car parking opposite the DYLs, the space is very
narrow and the chances of hitting the parked car are high if not
parked on the pathway.
A pathway is where a pedestrian can walk safely and if the
safety has been compromised by leaving a very narrow space where
the houses are, and the pedestrian footfall is high there then
it doesn't make sense to allow PCN where there is a lot of space
on the footpath just behind the marked spaces where there is a
car park just opposite where a car coming from the opposite
direction cannot turn.
So technically either the restriction of DYLs should be
completely removed (had there been no DYLs restrictions sign,
the driver wouldn’t have parked the car and the Penalty wouldn’t
have arisen) or the TMO should allow the parking on the curb
throughout the road considering there is an underground car park
opposite to the DYLs where there are high chances of an accident
whilst the car coming from the car park is manoeuvring.
In addition, the wording of the PCN in terms of the 28 days
period is wrong since it does not comply with Schedule 2 para.2
@
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2022/71/schedule/2
(d)that
the penalty charge must be paid within the period of 28 days
beginning with the date on which the alleged contravention
occurred.
In light of this procedural impropriety please cancel the PCN.
Also, I would like to request a Traffic Management Order for the
road In case of an unsuccessful appeal.
Yours sincerely,

In light of this procedural impropriety and the other
representations, please cancel the PCN.
Also, I request any relevant Traffic Management Order.
Sorry can't say anymore at present. Wait for others to chip in.

You've seen the TMO (obtained and posted earlier by cp) and I
referred to it in my last posts. Parking on the footway in
parking places is permitted because this is the manner of
standing prescribed in the order. There is no footway parking
resolution.
IMO, the tone of your reps is wrong. Your argument is that as
the cars immediately ahead were parked on the footway then you
assumed this applied to where you were as the contextual factors
were the same e.g. narrow road etc. However, it appears your
assumption was incorrect. However, you would ask the authority
to exercise discretion on this occasion.*
It has also been brought to your attention that there is a
regulatory flaw in the PCN i.e. ********* which you believe
constitutes what is referred to in the NTO grounds as a
procedural impropriety.
*- sometimes I suggest that owners add 'and as I have an
unblemished parking record in the borough' ....but as you have
another current footway parking thread I'm inclined to think
that you might have had previous run-ins with the authority.
Only you know.

[member=828]Sonu rocks[/member] talk of an appeal is premature,
I think you must mean you sent a representation to the council?
If so please let us know when you get a response and please tag
me in your reply on here.

[member=828]Sonu rocks[/member] I'm guessing the representation
was received by the council more than 14 days from when they
issued the NTO. As the discount has not been reoffered you might
as well appeal, as you have nothing to lose now.
