Torbay council parked on double yellow lines
« on: »
Parked on a side road with yellow lines but no visible restrictions for loading to carry a paddleboard to the nearby beach.

Appealed to say no observation time and provided photos of the paddleboard to show it was a large object. Council rejected which is also in the photos.

Worth taking my appeal further? Its still within discount period and only £35 which actually sems reasonable compared to London.

A double yellow has no meaning in an off-street car park and certainly not a 'restricted area'.

The terms board says vehicles must be wholly parked within a relevant bay so the correct contravention is 'not parked correctly within the markings of a bay or space'.

Their rejection very helpfully confirms this!

Yellow lines are misleading in off-street car parks. But some adjudicators think they do convey a restricted area. 

The PCN looks a mess in part - did they print two copies?

They only printed the one copy, I just realised after posting that the original picture I took wasn't very clear so added some more at a closer angle.

I think they have a problem in addition to the misprinted PCN which you don't appear to have mentioned in your reps:

https://tro.tpt.gov.uk/TRO/Torbay/Borough-of-Torbay-Off-Street-Parking-Places-Order-2026.pdf

The Order hasn't got any plans showing CP boundaries and GSV does not show any car park information before you have passed the DYL. IMO there's nothing to prove that this roadway is even part of the CP and subject to the Order.
