Smart Parking PCN

reedrich

Hi First post so please bear with me.


I have spent a lot of time reading the newbies thread and am ready to send my appeal using the template. Some points below which may or may not be relevant so I would appreciate any advices.


This relates to an Smart Parking Ltd ANPR PCN (at Greenwich Shopping Park, Charlton) which I received today. Letter was dated 12/12/2014 and relates to an overstay of 29 minutes (above the 3 hours). The 'date of (alleged) contravention' was 1/12/2014

• The ANPR photo I got is black and all you can see is the number plates (can't make out the car).
• The driver (not me) has a bank statement showing a costa coffee entry on the day so I can demonstrate the parking was for a retailer at the park.
• I am also concerned as the letter is dated 12/12/2014 so 5 weeks ago so would obviously like to respond asap.

So my question would be, should I, in the first instance, use the basic template to appeal or the bullet points above make any difference? Should I send a copy of the costa bank entry?


Thanks in advance for any advice - Much appreciated
