You should indeed ask for their pics. It is the lowest penalty though at £50, £25 at discount.

This contravention must be supported by a traffic order and it looks like it is:

General conditions in respect of parking places

Manner of standing in a parking place

v) so that all tyres on the vehicle lie wholly within the markings of the parking bay
and not more than 300mm of the vehicle, including any load, overhangs into any
adjacent parking bay.

Ah, now I get it. Beverley with its fine Minster !  A quick look at GSV shows off-carriageway parking bays, and they are visible in the photo you posted, showing your car too far onto the footway and outside the bay markings by about 12-15"
Here is the location:-

I tried to find the photos for your PCN on the East Riding website, and it just has to be the most useless website I've ever experienced, so I gave up. I suggest you submit reps stating the contravention did not occur.

Please post the PCN, but I suspect it will be for parking off-carriageway, an offence in London since the 70s and requires no lines or signs.

Morning - Just wondering whether there are basics checks for appeal? I'm going to ask for photos ( this is when I went back) but I do feel a little hard done by. I park here regularly, I suspect it is because of encroaching the pavement. The road is narrow and so is the space (does this mean I cannot use it) Also I have a photo of a car that didn't get a ticket unlike me.
