It's not an appeal at this stage, instead the driver and later the registered keeper may make representations to the council.

At present, all I can see as arguable is the condition of the kerb blips which if not found to be substantially compliant might lead to grounds of 'contravention did not occur' succeeding.

IMO, it's a long shot because the length of restricted marking is barely more than a car's length and there's a 'No loading..' sign clearly visible.

Wait for others.

For your argument is the worn/non-existent kerb markings;
Against is the No Loading at Any Time traffic sign at head height on the lamp post immediately adjacent to the car and within the length of highway occupied by the car(this photo was omitted from your post, but it's on the council's 'View Evidence' web page)

Hi everyone,

I would appreciate some advice on whether I have grounds to appeal a PCN.
The driver parked on double yellow lines while displaying a valid Blue Badge. A PCN was issued because the location is subject to a loading restriction.
After the PCN was issued, the driver inspected the location more closely and noticed that the kerb blip lines indicating the loading restriction are extremely worn and difficult to see. They are faded to the point where they are not obvious unless you are specifically looking for them.
Would the condition of the road markings be a valid ground for appeal? If so, what evidence should I gather? I have photographs of the worn kerb blips and also upload the PCN and any other relevant documents if that would help.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
