What about advertising consent for the signs?0

i didn't know you need it , the poles were too high and too far apart is what they got them on0

You need planning consent for the poles and cameras ... this can be granted retrospectively.
You also need advertising consent for signage ... not having it is a criminal offence and consent cannot be granted retrospectively. Therefore any tickets issued prior to consent being granted are unenforceable as you cannot profit from an illegal act.

Depending upon the size of the signs, express consent may be required:-i didn't know you need it , the poles were too high and too far apart is what they got them on

Failure to do so is a criminal offence (see regulation 30).0 -
But a shop in its own right can’t dish out parking tickets on the back of ANPR cameras. There must have been a private parking company involved.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

Do you know which parking company?
It’s interesting as to whose responsibility it is to apply for the permission, the shop or the PPC.
Looks like the council is going for the contract principal (the shop) which is good, because the PPC should have warned them that they needed to get this permission (very few of them do, as it just holds up being able to slap out tickets). Going after the shop is likely to pee them off and that might well cause them to pass on grief to the PPC.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum.

Sorry don’t do PMs. There’s nothing to hide, not sure how naming the PPC would make any difference?Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
