Totally appreciate that and I was accepting that there was a chance of getting ticketed (with parking being £15 for 2hrs and having to move to a different zone there’s not actually much difference in cost between paid parking and a ticket) but no harm in doing as you suggest to see if there’s any leniency.

From your description your weren't loading in the legal sense you were using the vehicle as a go-to stores while works were carried out in the building.
IMO, all you could do would be to make reps that at the time of the contravention you were progressively loading tools, equipment and stores into *** in preparation for undertaking work. *** is situated on *** floor or whatever and some items of equipment were large and heavy....
But I can't suggest something that doesn't fit with the facts..

Sorry for the delayed reply, original PCN attached.
We were back and forth to the van, working at the back of a first floor flat so there was often time when there was no return within 5mins. Obviously once the vehicle received a ticket it wasn’t worth moving it.
Totally accepting that the signage was clear and parking not allowed but hoped there might be some leeway. With regards to permits, unfortunately neither owner or tenant of the flat had a permit so that wasn’t possible.

Loading is usually an exemption but you have to complete it and then move the vehicle.
So what's the timeline?
If you wanted to park for a while the resident could have given you a visitor's permit.
Observation time - 5 minutes - nothing seen?
Post the PCN with no redactions.

Hi there, would appreciate some advice on a PCN.
The driver (tradesman) of the vehicle was working at a property on this road and was parked outside. The parking was residents permit holders only but due to needing to get a large number of tools and materials from the vehicle into the property it was impractical to park at the nearest pay and display zone. Is there any leeway in this charge or should I (as the owner of the vehicle) just pay the charge?
I hope I’ve provided enough information but happy to expand on anything if required.
