OK great, thank you, Neil.

I'll fix the issues as you suggested and submit the same appeal for both.

Yes, speak later when it gets rejected (comforting to know we've got a perfectly functional and predictable system here ::).

"permit parking area”
an area—
(a)
into which each entrance for vehicular traffic has been indicated by the sign provided for at item 5 of the sign table in Part 3 of Schedule 5; and

(b)
where any parking place within that area reserved for the use of the permit holders as indicated on that sign is not shown by markings on the road (whether or not an upright sign is placed next to, or near, such a parking place to indicate that only the permit holders in question may use the place)


The presumption beyond the sign is that every length of carriageway adjacent to the kerb IS a dedicated parking place reserved for holders of your permit!

The disabled bay and that adjoining are marked at right-angles to the kerb(and signed which is permissible)
You were parked at right-angles to the kerb where there were no bay markings....
..= you were parked in a 'dedicated parking place' reserved for holders of your permit.

The contravention therefore fails on this limb as well.

Frankly, IMO it's a nonsense having a PPA in this area because of the irregular shapre of the carriageway. But the sign is there.

I see, thank you for your explanation.

If I'm getting this right, they've actually stated this in their reply to my informal appeal but cited it as grounds for issuing the ticket because I double parked:

'In any road designated as a restricted street the complete width of the street, from the building line on either side of the street, is included in the restriction. It is therefore a contravention to ‘Double Park’ in any part of the street, whether adjacent to vehicles parked on yellow lines or in any form of parking bay or place.'

I'll post the appeal as above. I'm expecting rejection no matter what I write since it's the same party reviewing it. Then I'm counting on the impartial review at the tribunals to work in my favour.

Happy New Year all!

Well, I must say I never expected this but my formal appeal was accepted.

I wonder what they're on about about 'being unable to retrieve important information'.

Probably realized a) they cocked up, b) I won't go down without a fight and dropped it?

I might politely enquire at some point since I do plan to use that very same spot for parking in the future.

Well done! Always have a go.
And thank you for reporting back the outcomes. All too often we never hear back.
