    ok , it seemd that they have forgotten that the BPA tells them that "grace periods" apply

    and I quote from the BPA code of practice

    13 Grace periods
    13.1 Your approach to parking management must allow a
    driver who enters your car park but decides not to park,
    to leave the car park within a reasonable period without
    having their vehicle issued with a parking charge notice.
    13.2 You should allow the driver a reasonable ‘grace period’
    in which to decide if they are going to stay or go. If the
    driver is on your land without permission you should still
    allow them a grace period to read your signs and leave
    before you take enforcement action.
    13.3 You should be prepared to tell us the specific grace period
    at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is.
    13.4 You should allow the driver a reasonable period to leave
    the private car park after the parking contract has ended,
    before you take enforcement action

    those are generally a 10 mins on arrival to read and understand the signage and a further 10 + to leave the site after a period of parking

    perhaps you should scan/copy that NTK and forward it to the BPA for clarification?
