Enfield, code 01 parked in a restricted street, The Ride EN3
« on: »
Hello everyone,

This particular single yellow line (GSV) is somewhere where I've found myself inadvertently being issued with a PCN a couple of times due to forgetting the car was there overnight, and hitherto I've been able to get them cancelled by referring to a London Tribunal case I won a few years ago (case reference 2230394052) in respect to the same location (the road name mentioned in the case is incorrect). The upshot of the case was that the council said the yellow line was governed by a yellow timeplate as shown in the CEO photos, whereas I argued that that same yellow line is actually governed by white PCZ signage, and therefore there has been a procedural impropriety on the part of the CEO in citing my contravention. The adjudicator said that, whilst it's perfectly possible for a yellow timeplate to override a CPZ timeplate, which one applied in my case was unclear and therefore he ordered the cancellation of the PCN.

I've had one final instance of this alleged contravention (I say "final" because they've since converted the line from single to double). This time, the Council rejected both my informal and formal challenges, in the latter of which they've flipped the script, essentially telling me they agree with me that the yellow line is governed by the white CPZ timings, notwithstanding the CEO citing the yellow timeplate which is "classed as secondary evidence and do not invalidate the Notice". And, as my car was in contravention of the timings, they say the PCN is valid.

So, as you can see, it's a bit of a hodge-podge of different arguments. Any advice would be appreciated.

According to my count, the rejection letter is deemed to have been served on 16/06/2026 and therefore the appeals deadline is 13/07/2026.

There's no ambiguity as regards the regs.

A part-time waiting restriction (AKA SYL) must be signed.

Exceptionally, the adjacent upright signs may be dispensed with in a CPZ. But they don't have to be. We normally see this where there's a different restriction within a CPZ. However, when this is the case the limits of any excepted area must be clearly marked. These markings are simple transverse yellow lines, effectively termination of the CPZ restriction coming into the excepted length of street and the same when exiting.

Your photos?

Were you parked on DYL which don't need upright signs?

I was parked on SYL.

Can't make out anything from the photos and GSV is of no help.

You were parked in line with the traffic lane, therefore nothing ahead of you has effect, it's what's behind you. There's a sign posted in isolation. This is co-located with a no waiting on verge or footway sign(whose purpose escapes me as Enfield is wholly within Greater London).
