Hey Guys, would be very grateful for some help here! Here’s what happpened:
PCN sent 15 April 2026
On 7th of May I sent an appeal:
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to formally appeal Parking Charge Notice APS00136542326 relating to vehicle registration AD06AKF at Manorsfield Road, Bicester, OX26 6EH on 06/04/2026.
I am the owner and resident of 29 Manorsfield Road, OX26 6EH. The vehicle was parked within the residential area where I hold legitimate residential rights and authority to be present.
I dispute the allegation of “unauthorised” parking. As a resident/property owner at this location, I have an existing right of access and use associated with the property. Any parking scheme or third-party enforcement cannot override those existing residential rights without clear contractual agreement.
I would be grateful if you could cancel the Parking Charge Notice.
Yours faithfully,
RS
I Then had a reply from PCS on 27th of May stating:
Parking Charge Reference Number: APS00136542326
Thank you for your appeal in which you advised that you were authorised to park in the area in question.
So that I may fully consider your appeal, please send me a copy of your proof of authorisation. Please make sure that I receive the requested evidence no later than 10/06/2026.
Kind Regards

On the 10th of June at 8:20am they’ve sent:
POPLA Verification Code: 044161…
Parking Charge Reference Number: APS0013654…
Thank you for your appeal regarding the above Parking Charge.
I have carefully reviewed the case and considered the points that you raised in conjunction with the facts and evidence available to me. On this occasion, your appeal has been rejected as I am satisfied that this Parking Charge was issued correctly. I have explained the reasoning behind this decision in more detail below.
My findings
Manorsfield Road, Bicester OX26 6EH is private land and is subject to a parking management scheme put in place by the operator at the landowner’s request. There are specific terms and conditions in place as part of this scheme, which are displayed on the signs in place at the site. These signs have been installed in clear and prominent positions.
At this location, parking is restricted for the use of authorised vehicles only. The registrations of these authorised vehicles have been logged with the parking operator prior to being parked on site.
On 06/04/2026, the vehicle was parked in this restricted area without authorisation. This was a breach of the terms and conditions and the PCN was correctly and legitimately issued as a result.
Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the motorist to ensure that they seek out, read and comply with the terms and conditions of parking that are in place. By parking on site in breach of these terms and conditions, it has been agreed that the charge detailed on the signs will be paid.
I appreciate that this may not be the desired outcome, however, you have now reached the end of our internal appeal process. The three options available are listed below:
Your options
1) Pay the Parking Charge at the reduced amount of £60.00 within 14 days from the date of this response. After this time, the opportunity to pay at the reduced amount will no longer be available. The amount outstanding will rise to the full amount of £100.00 and will need to be paid within 14 days. Payment can be made online. Go to
www.parkingcsl.co.uk/pay. You can find full details of how to pay on the Parking Charge issued to the vehicle and/or on the letter(s) sent, if applicable.
Please note that you may need to manually update the payment amount to the reduced balance when making payment via our website.
2) Make an appeal to POPLA (the Independent Appeals Service) online at
www.popla.co.uk using the verification code provided above. The only grounds for making an appeal are stated on the website and the appeal must be received by POPLA within 28 days from the date of this response. If you are unable to submit your appeal online, we can provide you with a form to submit your appeal by post.
If you appeal to POPLA, we will suspend recovery activity on the Parking Charge. The charge will not increase further until the appeal outcome has been determined. Please note that if you opt to appeal to POPLA and the appeal is unsuccessful or you withdraw your appeal, you will only be able to settle the Parking Charge at the full amount. The opportunity to pay at the reduced amount will no longer be available.
If you choose to pay the Parking Charge you will not be able to appeal to POPLA.
3) If you do not make payment or submit an appeal to POPLA within the relevant time frame, the outstanding Parking Charge may be passed to an appointed debt collection agency for further action. All costs associated with this process will be added to the full Parking Charge amount.
More Information
By law we are also required to inform you that Trust Alliance Group (
Trust Alliance Group provides a range of products and services to build, maintain and restore trust between consumers and businesses.
) provides an alternative dispute resolution service that would be competent to deal with your appeal. However, we have not chosen to participate in their alternative dispute resolution service. As such, should you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA, as explained above.

On the 10th of June at 10:26 I had sent the TR1 proof of flat ownership
Dear Harriet,
Please find attached as requested. Do let me know if anything else is needed.
Warmest Regards,
RS
I have then emailed them back on the 16th of June
Dear Harriet,
I have emailed the evidence at 10:26am on 10th of June 2026. I have not seen your response since. Would you let me know the outcome of the appeal please?
Warmest Regards,
My question is- Do I go straight to Popla appeal or ANPR? I also feel there is not enough information about the site and how to register your car. The process is not clear yet they are ignoring me and trying to rush me in.
