OP, let's be clear about these events pl.

The vehicle was carrying a load.

The intended location for this load was inside your house or beyond and you had to carry through the house.

Was the vehicle fully unloaded when the CEO issued the PCN?

If not, then one would expect the CEO's notes to show this because you would have shown them the remaining load, not just told them what you were doing.

The alternative - that you had completed unloading- and that the CEO's observations and serving of the PCN coincidentally occurred during your last trip might stretch an adjudicator's belief envelope.

You received a NTO dated 26 July which you posted here on 21 August.

The latest date for making formal reps against the NTO is TODAY.

Did you make reps when you received the NTO?

The letter you've posted is their response to your informal reps and nothing to do with matters now.

Get online, make formal reps(assuming the NTO is addressed to you) citing grounds of:
Procedural impropriety;
Contravention did not occur.

Procedural impropriety:
NTO was not posted on the date it was issued, 26 July being a Bank Holiday. This is contrary to regulation 20(3)(a) of the General Regs 2022.

Contravention did not occur:
I was unloading, which is an exemption from the prohibition(not mitigating circumstances but an exemption) and this could not otherwise have been performed. ***** expand on this with your own words.

Hi,

Thanks both for your reply. I have submitted the appeal with the same grounds as last time, taken a screenshot of submission and also received the email confirmation of the appeal.

Will let you know once I receive their reply.

Thanks
