The date of the NTO pl;

Also, how did you submit the formal reps?

I just want to check that you did not submit them late, which could mean they were disregarded. (you appear to have calculated 31 March and I cannot access the PCN or NTO to look at the authority's website.

Date of NTO, not date received.

Thurs. 27 Feb.
Fri. 28 Feb.
Sat. 1 March.
Sun. 2 March
Mon. 3 March.

If dated 27th or earlier, then you were late. If dated 28th then you were in time.

Let's at least find out the basics.

Then your email reps were in time...assuming email is permitted and reps comply with instructions as to their form..we can't see, they've not been posted.

I'd email them.

PCN ********

I refer to the above, your Notice to Owner dated 3 March and my emailed formal representations dated and sent on 31 March.

By virtue of the authority having failed to comply with regulation 6(7) of the Appeals Regulations(to serve notice of their decision within the 56-day period - at the date of writing 59 days have elapsed) then regulation 6(7)(b) applies, as follows:


(7) If the enforcement authority fails to comply with the requirements specified in paragraph (4) within the 56-day period—

(a)it is deemed for the purposes of these Regulations to have accepted the representations made by the recipient, and

(b)it must—

(i)cancel the relevant enforcement notice,

(ii)refund any sum paid in relation to it, and

(iii)serve a notice on the recipient informing the recipient that the enforcement notice has been cancelled because the enforcement authority failed to serve a decision notice in accordance with paragraph (4)(b).

Yours,.....
