Minimum overhang in London is not supposed to be ticketable - it's mentioned in the CEO's Handbook that you can download on the LondonCouncils' website.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

A good pointer to a document that can be downloaded from here http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/policylobbying/transport/parkinginlondon/ceohandbook.htm There is only a reference to overhang in the case of a parking bay but it's actually almost more generous than I would have been:)Coupon-mad wrote: »Minimum overhang in London is not supposed to be ticketable - it's mentioned in the CEO's Handbook that you can download on the LondonCouncils' website.There are certain circumstances where a contravention is
technically occurring but is sufficiently minor not to warrant
a PCN being issued. The following is a list of some of the
situations in which consideration should be made as to
whether or not to issue a PCN.
a) Vehicle overhang
A CEO should only issue a PCN if the vehicle is parked
incorrectly to the extent that at least one wheel is wholly in
contravention, for example a wheel being wholly outside the
parking bay or wholly on a yellow line. If all of the wheels
are within the confines of the bay but the vehicle is large
and overhangs the bay to such an extent that it causes an
obstruction equal to a normally-sized vehicle with one wheel
wholly in contravention, then a PCN can also be issued. CEOs
must use their judgement on this, and record any evidence
(especially photographic) that proves the contravention.0 -
...thank you all very much for the information and comments.0

Was it a PCN written by a CEO, by camera, or was it a FPN from a police officer or a PCSO?0

should read as "does NOT qualify as being ticketable".
Don't ask, it's been a very distressing day.0 -

Which is correct. Vehicles that overhang are not bookable (although I've had a few colleagues who would try it anyway).
Apologies to all who may have got the wrong end of what I wrote.. I missed out a crucial word (which I'm sure I remember typing in) and it ended up looking the opposite of what I was trying to get across
