Hello,
Have not so far been able to find an example post of how to approach this parking charge when the driver exited at 10:45 for coffee at nearby farm shop and returned at around 12:00. Evidence available: receipt for boots shop at 10:30ish, Screen shot of coffee paid for that day at farm shop and receipt for shop at another shop in the retail park at 12:30ish.
PCN for £100 (£60 if paid by 22 May) from CP PLUS LTD T/A Group Nexus. The company states on letter they are a member of BPA.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BDeA-U5EDf5DkoxmmdF-AdevgEzDgGE6/view?usp=drivesdkThe letter shows overstaying as reason at Ashford retail park on 30th Apr 2025. Arrival time on the photo shows 9:19 AM, Departed 12:37 PM, duration 3HRS 17MINS.
Could some advice be offered on whether an appeal will be accepted for a genuine shopper who is completely aware of the three hour maximum but not aware that revisiting is possibly not allowed? Nothing in the letter to that effect and can check signs soon. There are a few pictures of the sign here:
