We have carefully reviewed the case and considered the pointsthat you raised in conjunction with the facts and evidence available to me. On this occasion, your appealhas been rejected and we are satisfied that this Parking Charge Notice was issued correctly. Gulls RockInn Car Park is private land and is subject to a parking management scheme put in place by theoperator at the landowner’s request. There are specific terms and conditions in place as part of thisscheme. These terms and conditions are stated on the signs installed at the site, which are displayed inclear and prominent positions. The terms and conditions of the scheme at this location state that a validpayment must be made for the length of time the vehicle is parked on site. On 12/08/2025, the vehiclewas parked without this payment being made. This was a breach of these terms and conditions.Your appeal has been declined as you did not enter the full, correct, vehicle registration – the VRM youmade payment for was "HH". As per the new BPA Code of Practice we are advising you that you nowhave a choice - pay a £20 reduced charge in accordance with the BPA’s guidance on Major KeyingErrors - once paid we will close the case. Alternatively, if you do not pay this amount within 14 days fromthe date of this communication - the original fee structure will commence with the charge at £60 for 14days and then the amount will increase to £100 and follow the original timeline. Please note that if thecharge is not paid or appealed - the case will be passed to our Debt Recovery Team.Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the motorist to ensure that they seek out, read and comply with theterms and conditions of parking that are in place. By parking on site in breach of these terms andconditions, it has been agreed that the charge detailed on the signs will be paid. I appreciate that thismay not be the desired outcome, however, you have now reached the end of our internal appealprocess.This is what they've said in the PCN. The company is Initial Parking.Important thing to mention is that the machine didn't instruct me to give a registration number but still printed HH on the stub.
