Author Topic: BCP Parked in a restriced street during prescribed hours  (Read 15 times)

Good evening,

I received a PCN back in October 2025 for parking fully mounted on the (extremely wide) pavement.

The road is subject to on-street parking on one side, with double yellow lines on the side I was parked on.

Parking was due to unloading for work purposes - the premises I was visiting was directly on a corner so I assessed that the safest reasonable place to park was on the pavement, as this is probably 15ft wide with very minimal foot traffic.

I submitted an appeal based on unloading, during which they asked for proof of my work schedule for the day.

This was provided via email and they confirmed receipt (03/12), advising "Your email and any attachments will be manually uploaded to the case for review from an Officer".

I have heard nothing from them until today, when I received an NtO.  Happy to continue with my existing defence, I'm just wondering whether there are any errors on their part for ignoring my appeal and moving straight to NtO - does this open up any other options for me?

It appears it's for parking on the double yellows, not on the pavement. Loading may be an exemption - what were you loading and how long for? Post a street view link to the location - are there any loading restrictions in force?

Correction from my earlier statement, it was a single yellow but during the middle of the day.  No specific loading restrictions in place (I drive an estate so people often assume I'm not loading).  I was there for long enough to be ticketed!

As I say, happy to continue the appeal on these grounds (obviously happy to take on board any input, but I've done so before with success) however I'm mainly wondering whether their skipping my appeal and moving to NtO is of any bearing.


Kind Regards

It may be a rejection got lost in post. There's no timeline on their site.

I would restate your case and saying you did respond to a request for evidence, but did not get another reply.
