Highview Parking PCN

I parked in Epping Forest Retail Park which is managed by the above. The car park states there is a 3 hour limit for parking. The car park is always busy as there are quite a few shops. I later received a PCN notice stating that I parked for 3hrs 16mins.
I have appealed the PCN pointing out that I parked for less than 3hrs however it took the additional time to exit the car park owing to an incident involving other vehicle resulting in congestion and a backing up of vehicles (there is only one exit).
Is this adequate grounds for appeal?

    No. You are dealing with a serial scammer. Was the NtK you received PoFA 2012 compliant? If so, did you reveal yourself to be the driver when appealing?

    You must now carefully read the Newbies/FAQ thread in order to see if you have made any mistakes and what the process is when your appeal is rejected.

    Have you tried Plan A yet? A complaint to the landowner and a letter to your MP to get them involved?

    Obviously you know you won't be paying.  Not even if you get a court claim, which is when you win.

    But try Plan A first (which is not 'appeal').  Fully explained in NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
