Also the DRP letter refers to an earlier letter of theirs that never…

MET Parking Charge - Did I mess up?
Hi everybody - I wonder if you can help. I've been reading the First Time Guide post but I only discovered this after I'd lodged an appeal through MET's website... which has now been rejected.

The Parking Game
Having ignored parking invoice letters, as was the now out of date information I was following (sigh), I have landed myself with a number of situations which I shall outline below.

Planning Permission - LBA
So, I have decided to put up a fight. I have discovered that the land that is the subject of the LBC does not have planning permission as a car park. It had temporary permission a few years ago, but this has since expired. Surely this is the killer argument to any claim? Therefore, my reply letter has the following…

I'm not sure on which grounds to appeal my PCN...
I received a PCN last week, which included a photo of the back of my car and a photo of the driver next to the car. The reason of issue on the PCN is 'non patron'. There is a chance that this is correct, I don't know, but it is possible that the driver parked there to go to the shop next door. I am wondering how they can…

How does the right to Drop Off/Pick Up compare with a grace period?
I hired a car the other day and got a PCN from PESS during the 5 minutes it took me to get up to my flat, collect my partner and bags and walk back down. (From the time of printing the hire documents to me getting the PCN is only 21 minutes, and that includes the time to check the vehicle and drive the mile to the flat! )…
