Parking charge notice - no parking at anytime from NCP

Options

I parked my car at NCP Windsor Alma Road, England 23/May/2025.


I received a PCN a few days ago saying I’ve breached car park T&C ‘No parking at anytime’.


At first I thought it’s related to my payment (extended the session twice), hence appealed with relevant evidence. 


Of course my appeal has failed. 


From the evidence provided by NCP, my car was parked inside bay 9, marked out by yellow line, and if look closely, bottom part of printed ‘NCP’ is there as well.

 

NCP’s own notice has said bay 9 is NCP Custom Bay.


I’ve emailed NCP appeal team the meaning of ‘No parking at anytime’, and no explanation has been given.


So here comes my question:


1. What exactly is ‘No parking at anytime’?


2. Do I stand any chance in appealing to Parking On Private Land Appeals (POPLA)?

    1) a forbidden act, no contract offered for that exclusive bay

    2) depends on how good your legal points are,  mainly based on forbidden actions for that bay, plus any signage issues,  especially if that bay has poor , faded markings  ?

    Show us the sign.

    Yes you could win at POPLA if the signs & lines are misleading.

    But by appealing before coming here and talking about who was driving and the whole story, you've already binned the 100% winning point that you had as registered keeper.

    Always come here first. We will help you try to win but it would have been a complete cinch.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
