Ocean Parking Fine - Metro link : Ladywell Car Park Appeal
Options

Hi,
I've just received a parking charge notice from Ocean Parking of £100, for not being parked 'wholly within a bay' at Ladywell Metrolink park and ride car park. This was on the end of a row with with no other parking space next to it and car more or less on the line of the bay.
I'd like to appeal this as it's frankly ridiculous and purely a money making exercise.
Should I just put in a basic appeal first and then when rejected by Ocean go into more detail with the second appeal? For the first appeal I was just going to provide pictures from google satellite view showing it's an end space.
Also, the pictures provided on the letter don't clearly show the infringement and the letter suggests I can view all the pictures on their website but I can't find a way to do that.
Appreciate any help on this, would it be exempt as for the reasons described in the post above?
Thanks in advance!

Show us both sides of the PCN, data redacted but all dates showing. Including the back.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

These never go to court, so I'd be inclined

Why do you think it matters1 -
The price never increases, its always £100, its the early settlement figure that expires on that Parking Charge Notice
Ocean Parking are not going to cancel regardless of any appeal, so dont expect any quick resolution with these Metrolink cases2 -
Thanks, should I just put in a standard appeal saying photos don't show it very well, end of row, difficult to park etc.?
The pictures below shows the space it was from satellite and street view, end of a row.

Appeal it as keeper using the template defence in the newbies sticky thread in announcements, but expect a rejection ( eventually you will realise that there is no prospect of a cancellation happening )
The rejection by the parking company and the IAS will state that the pcn was correctly issued, especially based on their evidence of the vehicle not being wholly within the bay markings, as described
No appeal will work2
