Good info because GSV dated Aug. 2025 only shows HS on the CPZ signs, similarly with the permit holder places in Aubrey.

So OP, is your permit HS or PC?

My permit is PC - as they created a new zone within the last year.

Unfortunately though I’ve just returned from work and found that they did install CPZ signs recently at the entrance to the road for the PC zone - so I take it that the restrictions on the yellow line will be valid.

Given the above think I’m inclined to just pay and move on, as I think the PCN is valid and Waltham Forest have no inclination to waive these kinds of offences sadly

What are the 'prescribed hours' for this line and how are they conveyed?

There are none - hence part of the basis for my informal appeal. As can be seen on the street view the signs are just for residents parking permit zones for the bays (of which I have a permit) and there’s no CPZ except for the resident parking. It’s just a single yellow line painted in front of a neighbours garage that isn’t used.

Hi everyone and thanks for taking the time to help.

I live on a restricted residential parking street in Walthamstow (Aubrey Rd, E17 4SL), outside our house is space for two cars in a bay. When I returned home from work last night - a blue badge holder had parked right in the middle of both bays; unfortunately a common and frustrating problem as we are right next to the high street and blue badge holders often park there temporarily to access the shops. I parked up behind their car as tight as I could, expecting them to leave in an hour or so, meaning I could then just move forward into the space fully later. Unfortunately they did not leave, and I received a PCN this morning as my car was partially outside the lines, over a single yellow line that sits in front of a neighbour's unused garage. Because the available parking spaces on this road are very limited (and very tight spacing) my experience previously has usually been that the wardens will allow a grace of some distance over the line as long as it's not obstructing - however clearly that did not happen here.

 My question as to whether a formal appeal is worthwhile or not relies on two possibilities that I can see:

1 - the reason for penalty was given as "01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours" however I have a valid virtual residents parking permit for this street. Would being partially outside of the parking bay be a valid reason to apply the above code? Or if that was the reason for the PCN, should that have been given as a different code, and therefore a valid reason to appeal?

2 - The area to the rear of the parking bay is a short, single yellow line that covers a neighbours garage entrance (irrelevant legally but this has never been used for vehicle storage or access - hence why I didn't feel obliged to keep clear for my neighbour's sake) however this yellow line has no sign to indicate restrictions - would this be grounds for appeal, or does this line mean no parking at any time (surely this should be a double yellow instead??)
