PCN at my own driveway - pavement parking - Bexley
« on: »
I am re-opening this topic that I had started in pepipoo forum.

I had parked in front of my house and partly on footpath. There is a notice at the street entrance about parking in marked bays which I wasn't aware.
Now my appeal has been rejected.
I have added the rejection letter in the evidence images: https://photos.app.goo.gl/pBcEDp3zpEpMxjUm7

To note, I will be abroad for 5 weeks soon. I need to ensure I don't miss any correspondence to my address.

Is there any further advice on this one?
Thanks

I would consider making representations regarding permitted exceptions for loading and unloading and the need to maintain an observation period.

The PCN also does not seem to record the extra information required. This is in the CEO handbook for a purpose (in my opinion to identify whether there is any other safe location to unload).

There are also permitted exemptions, 'DNOP,' for code 63 contravention. Perhaps you were waiting for the driveway to be made clear before you entered it.

EXEMPTION O. A vehicle waiting while a gate or barrier is opened closed
to allow access or departure to from premises


Check out: https://archive.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/parking-services/parking-and-traffic/parking-information-professionals/civil-enforcement

Code description:
Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath or any
part of the road other than a carriageway.
Code contravention:
The contravention occurs when a vehicle waits on any part of
a footpath or footway.
Extra information to be recorded:
• Number of wheels on the footway
• Diagram or photograph of the parking position.
Loading/unloading allowed:
Yes, but only if it is essential so as not to cause an
obstruction and cannot be carried out elsewhere.
Observation period:
If essential as described above, then yes.
Exemptions:
DNOP
Notes:
A footway means a way comprised in a road which also
comprises a carriageway, being a way over which the public
have a right of way on foot only.
A footpath means a highway over which the public have the
right of way on foot only, not being a footway.
Footway parking is allowed where signs and markings offcially
authorise them.

What we found regularly on the old site is that the exemption for the kerb parking usually applied to the whole street, rather than just the bays, one of the regulars will be along shortly to confirm exactly what you need to ask for.

There is a notice at the street entrance about parking in marked bays which I wasn't aware.

Dated GSV shows that there are more marked bays in this and adjoining roads than one can shake a stick at, including one behind your car. There isn't a photo of the sign in evidence and GSV doesn't help. You need to do some legwork.

Are you the registered keeper with current V5C.

As per the guidance here, please re-post the PCN without redactions, also please give us a link to the location on google street view.

Lastly please check if this site is still there: https://maps.app.goo.gl/chu5rPKhxWt3SkDs6

In the meantime I'll get hold of the footway parking resolution.

I have included the unredacted version of PCN in the shared album linked in my first post. https://photos.app.goo.gl/pBcEDp3zpEpMxjUm7

I can confirm the sign in your GSV image is still there.

Satellite image of where the car was parked: https://photos.app.goo.gl/W9XDVRYpctuaa7ab9

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IAs-NoI8XeRuJnntEpICK3sb6ZlyDbJp/view
Page 190 for Key
Page 308 for Olron Crescent (the parked place is in front of the house where circled S is near the road curve at the bottom right)

Right to the post there is a marked bay half on the pavement but I don't see a marking on the map.

What do we make out of this map? could you explain, please?
