To help us provide the best advice, please read the following
thread carefully and provide as much of the information it asks
for as you are able to: READ THIS FIRST - Private Parking
Charges Forum guide

From a quick skim the notice looks to be compliant with PoFA,
which would allow them to recover the charge from the registered
keeper. It would be useful to see photos of the signage at the
site and an indication of where the driver parked, to see if
there are any suitable arguments to be made there.

Hi [member=103]DWMB2[/member], Thanks for your prompt response.
I have now gone through the thread you mentioned in the post
earlier. I will be mindful of the advice mentioned in the
thread.
Further to the post, I have attached the pictures from google
maps as well as from the NPM portal images taken by ANPR. The
car was parked exactly where the white van is parked in google
map image.
Look forward for your advice.
Many thanks & Regards

The signage is a bit naff frankly, and you could challenge the
matter on that basis.
One thing to do is to check with the council where the public
highway ends and the private land begins.

Thanks [member=103]DWMB2[/member]
I have drafted the following letter in my appeal...I wonder as
if how exactly I check with the council for where the public
highway ends and the private land begins as per your
suggestions?
TIA
[center]Subject: Parking Charge Notice [reference number] –
Appeal[/center]
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am the registered keeper of the vehicle referenced in the
above Parking Charge Notice. I write to appeal this charge.
The alleged contravention concerns parking on a single yellow
line. I dispute liability for the following reasons:
Misleading Road Markings
A single yellow line is a statutory highway marking, enforceable
only by local authorities under traffic regulations. On private
land, such markings have no legal effect. Their use in this
context is misleading, as a reasonable motorist would assume the
restriction related to public highway rules rather than a
private contractual term.
Inadequate and Unclear Signage
For a parking charge to be enforceable, the terms must be
clearly displayed and capable of forming a contract. At this
location, there was no clear signage stating that parking on a
single yellow line would give rise to a financial charge.
Without clear and prominent signage, no contract can be
established with the driver.
Request for Discretion
This appears to be the first occasion the vehicle has been
issued with a charge at this site. If any term was inadvertently
breached, I would ask that you exercise discretion and cancel
the charge as a gesture of goodwill. Steps will be taken to
ensure the vehicle is not parked in this manner again.
For the reasons above, I request that this Parking Charge Notice
be cancelled. Should you choose not to do so, please provide the
following so that I may properly consider further appeal:
A copy of the contract with the landowner authorising
enforcement.
Photographic evidence of the signage in place on the date in
question.
Clarification of which Accredited Trade Association you are a
member of, so that I may escalate this appeal to the appropriate
independent body (POPLA or IAS).
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
Registered Keeper of Vehicle [registration number]

Dear fellas,
Hope this finds you well. I have received an email from National
Parking Management Limited in response to my appeal, which I had
attached below for your attention.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be highly appreciated
