Free Traffic Legal Advice

OK - I've only personally attended a tribunal hearing once, but have a 100% success rate 

You may therefore wish to get input from others with more experience on tribunal strategy, but typically we advise people to register the appeal first and foremost but not submit their full appeal arguments until nearer the time, ideally after the council has submitted their evidence.

I believe at point of registering you can put something like "I rely on my formal representations".

The key thing is to ensure you opt to be present for the hearing (usually by telephone or on Microsoft Teams).  If instead it's a decision purely on "the papers" you have a worse chance of success as we frequently see the adjudicator putting insufficient weight on the appellant's arguments as they lose the chance to get additional verbal context.

add also and further submissions on sight of council evidence

I would be relying on the key case Essoo vs can't remember of hand" but will look it up and draft something when you come back with a case number and hearing date

Don't get too hung up about making your appeal, the procedure is very open:

Further representations

Thanks appeal lodged so we'll see how I fair when it comes around!

Thanks.

I've had the date through and it will be Monday 8 September at 3.30pm.

If we accept that the rear bumper of the Merc is in line with the 2nd newal post of the metal fencing (indicated by the top of the dark black post in the picture below to the left of the blue mark in the picture below), and after that comes the last newal post, by the green mark in the photo and then after that the keep left sign, which is by the red mark in the picture- I think we can prove this.

The distance from the edge of the box to a position not yet at the second Newal post (by the blue mark) where the mercs bumper is, is in excess of 4m so the Clio should fit and it simply stopped short, which isn't an offence.
