    So POPLA replied and rejected the appeal. They conveniently ignored the complaint whilst commenting on the operator's evidence, saying they don't have illumination after Starbucks closes.

    I have posted the decision in the POPLA Decisions thread and am crosslinking it here: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/81445947/#Comment_81445947

    Ignore it.

    Didn't you use the usual arguments and Airport map showing that it's not relevant land?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I did, here's an excerpt from point #2 in the appeal:

    MET Parking Services have no landowner authority to issue and enforce PCNs at this location. The parking lot at 346 Southgate Park is under statutory control as part of Stansted Airport, which is a regulated area. MET Parking Services have refused to provide evidence of their landowner authority, and therefore, their claim to enforce parking charges upon me, as the keeper, is invalid. As I have presented in the appeal to MET Parking, the location of the parking lot is unambiguously within the Stansted Airport boundaries (as illustrated on the Government Airport Site Plan: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64d0fc30e5491a00134b59 46/Design___Access_Statement_-_checked.pdf, page 6), which I am including here, including an annotation to show the parking lot location:

    And POPLA didn't consider that evidence nor even mention it in the decision?

    Email a complaint to POPLA.
