The leaseholder has supremacy of contract and there is no requirement in the lease that mentions they are bound by a third party. Explain to POPLA that you put the operator to strict proof that they hold a valid contract flowing from the landowner that supersedes their own lease.

The appeal is quoted above in IMG_5586

There may be a similar POPLA appeal here on the forum, there is a search capability, from everything said here the “parking company” has no contract indeed, your right to use the parking space trumps them.

If POPLA doesn’t uphold your appeal, the speculative invoice would not stand up to court scrutiny. It would definitely help to know exactly which useless money-grabbing bunch is trying it on here.

You’re gonna need to show the PCN as well if possible. Front and back. Make sure you hide your address, though

We also need a copy of what you said in your appeal.

Title: PCN parking in own bay
Post by: j00king on July 31, 2025, 08:55:12 pm
My home has a dedicated parking space where I have sole use for a roadworthy vehicle.

The estate has recently employed a private car parking company to manage the spaces.

A ticket was issued to my sister who had permission from me to park within the space.

As I failed to register he vehicle as a guest, she got a PCN.

We appealed and it was declined. It’s taken a long time for me to process this and the Popla appeal needs to be appealed by the 4th August.

Could I have advice?

I did not give consent to the management company to manage my space. But I also believe the ANPR camera is fixed on council land and not estate.

Could I argue a contract was not agreed to, as I didn’t give permission for my space to be monitored?
