Kindly advise on amendments needed:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Ref: PCN WA87399625
I would like to appeal the above PCN on the following grounds.
1. The PCN states a penalty charge of £110 for contravention code 52M Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicles (motor vehicles).
Wandsworth Council's website lists 52M under "moving traffic contraventions all charged at the band A higher rate."

https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/parking/pcns-and-parking-fines/pcn-contravention-codes/#:~:text=If%20you%20receive%20a%20Penalty,%C2%A360%20(Band%20B).
Band A higher rate is stated as £130. The above PCN meanwhile states the penalty charge for a 52M contravention as £110 meaning it is invalid.
2. The grounds of appeal on Wandsworth Council website do not match statutory grounds.
There are eight statutory grounds of appeal (plus one more for PCNs served by post which isn't stated below) for appealing PCNs:
The contravention did not occur
The penalty charge exceeded the relevant amount
The Traffic Regulation Order was invalid
The motorist was not the owner/keeper of the vehicle at the time of the contravention
The vehicle had been taken without the owner's consent
The owner is a hire company and have supplied the name of the hirer
There has been a procedural impropriety on behalf of the authority
Penalty charge notice was paid either in full or at a discounted rate within the discount period.
Wandsworth Council's website meanwhile only gives the following grounds:
The contravention did not occur
The vehicle was on hire
The vehicle was sold
Other
3.The time delay between charge certificate and order for recovery.
The charge certificate is dated 22nd February 2023 whilst the Order for Recovery is dated 31st August 2023. This equates to a period of 6 months and 9 days between postal dates of both documents.
The time delay falls well outside of code of practice timeframes and constitutes further procedural impropriety on behalf of the Council.
Yours sincerely,
Name
Registered keeper.
