Waiting PCN private area help needed on popla appeal

I suppose it could be used as an example of what NOT to do...

Hmmm. I don't think even Delia Smith could cook a goose that well.

You're going to have to pen your POPLA appeal well away from any of those circumstances, concentrating on the prohibitive nature of the signage - do you have your own detailed (legible small print) photos of the signage? If not, please get some, but park somewhere much safer!

Load as much into the appeal as you can muster and hope PW find it too much to deal with.

At over 6,200 words and 18 pages long, it has the potential to dissuade a PPC from trying to produce evidence to deal with it. There again, they may just shove a similar copy and paste template back, but stretching to 40+ pages long. And sometimes they win. POPLA is becoming far less predictable these days, where in the past we could say, yep, that will win, more recently it has become much closer to a 'lap of the Gods' scenario.

Have you drowned the critical point(s) in the mass of copy and paste verbiage? Here's a salutary lesson from betman's 29-page losing POPLA appeal (reported just today), where at least one critical point seems to have been lost in the crap, and the case failing in the process. And that was a Park Watch case too. Learn something from it.

Most regulars (and you can count the number prepared to fully evaluate POPLA appeals on the fingers of one hand) are pretty much brain-dead from the expectation that three or four times a day, almost every day, for the past 5 years we are being expected to plough through university-sized theses, looking to spot errors of copying and pasting or out of date arguments which make the poster more, rather than less, vulnerable to an unfavourable adjudication.

If you're happy with it, go with it. There are sufficient examples of what wins and what loses littered through the stickies and the general threads.
