       On the ibb page with the image, scroll down past the image to

       Would love to get your thoughts on the council's response to the
       formal representation that you had put together.

       I think this is the point now where I need to start putting
       together my appeal.
       I've heard of cases where the council don't even turn up, or
       present anything. What are the chances of that happening out of
       curiosity? I know some are worse for it than others.

       Would you please post the missing pages of the NOR, you've only
       posted 2 but there are crucial procedural issues to be checked
       which cannot be done without seeing all pages.
       IMO, excluding any procedural points which might arise your
       appeal should be as per your formal reps save that you would
       draw the adjudicator's attention to the NOR as regards this
       statement from the council which would seem to encapsulate their
       completely erroneous approach to off-street parking enforcement
       on housing estates and why the mandatory off-road signage is not
       in place, apparently because this is a council policy:
       'As a resident with a [housing estate] permit, you still have to
       obey the parking rules..
       The parking rules that apply to the road also apply to the
       off-road area'

       Thanks.
       IMO, the NOR is the council's letter, not the attachments. It
       therefore follows that this mandatory provision in the Appeals
       Regs has been omitted from the NOR:
       (6) If the enforcement authority does not accept the
       representations, its decision notice—
       (a)must—
       (i)state that a charge certificate may be served on the
       recipient unless within the period of 28 days beginning with the
       date of service of the decision notice—
       (aa)the penalty charge is paid, or
       (bb)the recipient appeals to an adjudicator against the penalty
       charge,
       (ii)indicate the nature of an adjudicator’s power to award
       costs, and
       (iii)describe the form and manner in which an appeal to an
       adjudicator must be made
       Appeal to an adjudicator against a decision to reject a
       recipient’s representations
       7.—(1) A recipient may appeal to an adjudicator against an
       enforcement authority’s decision not to accept their
       representations.
       (2) An appeal under this regulation must be made within—
       (a)the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of
       the decision notice under regulation 6(4)(b) which states that
       the enforcement authority does not accept the recipient’s
       representations, or
       (b)such longer period as the adjudicator may allow.
       The only reference to making an appeal is to the 28-day period
       and not 'such longer period...etc.'.
       This is a secondary ground of appeal IMO (it comes under the
       heading of Procedural Impropriety) because your substantive case
       is strong.

       If I could get a bit of guidance on how to put together the
       argument.
       I am assuming I will start with the facts from when I parked my
       vehicle, to receiving the PCN, to informally challenging it,
       receiving the rejection, then formally challenging it, and
       receiving the rejection, so on so forth.
       Please let me know if this is a standard format to follow?

       Also, is there any of way of knowing/seeing any evidence the
       council has or has not submitted?

       You must get a timely evidence pack from Southwark:
       The Chief Adjudicator has directed that authorities must serve
       their evidence no later
       than five days before the first scheduled date of hearing of the
       appeal.
