Street view shows only the South end of Amhurst gardens is in a Controlled Parking Zone, but the Hounslow map shows that the rest of road is now also in a (different) parking zone.  So you should have passed a sign as you drove in highlighting the change in Zone.  Are you able to go back and have a look / take pictures?

There aren't any road markings in the council's photos therefore either this is a monumental c**k-up by them or they consider that you were parked in a Permit Parking Area(not a controlled zone, but a PPA).

But there aren't any photos of a PPA sign either!

IMO, evidentially their photos are b******s, but this won't necessarily stop them at this stage!

Are you able to return to see whether PPA signs are present - see this link to their form and use: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5c78f895e5274a0ebfec719b/traffic-signs-manual-chapter-03.pdf

para. 13.10.

There's nothing about a PPA on the map or in the latest notice of order, which refers to a CPZ - I can't find the actual order.

Resident permit parking is indicated along both sides of most of the road.






Where are the markings?

There are a number of small CPZs there or what they call CPZs - if they are CPZs there is no contravention as CPZs can't have unrestricted kerbs. 

We need to see zone signage in the area.




Thanks you all for the replies. I would visit the road over the weekend and post it here, what exactly i should look for please?

Look for CPZ signs - (I have posted the boundaries they have on their map above):




And/or permit parking area signs:




I visited the area over the weekend, these are the pictures from both ends of Amhurst Gardens and some from the middle of the road.

Please let me know if this is sufficient or any other details would be needed.

So it's a PPA. It's a bit strange having one starting part way on a road that also has a CPZ.

It looks to be well signed with entry signs on both sides and repeater signs.

The only thing I can see to question is the order establishing it as it doesn't appear on their order map.
