PCN Appeal help/advice please

[harrystottle]

Hi

 

I recently got issued with a PCN by a particularly aggressive CEO who, although he saw me standing next to my van and could have easily asked me to move it, went straight for the jugular and issued me with a PCN on the spot. I have been looking at this and I think it is all correct (contravention code, road markings etc) but I am posting up images just in case. I'm sure there are more knowledgeable folk on this forum who can enlighten me and I would be very grateful for your input. Images of the PCN and the road signage/markings (courtesy of Google Maps) below:

 

 

 

 

One other potential line of appeal is that I was attempting to deliver large and bulky items (sheets of plasterboard). I have read that "many local authorities issue dispensations which temporarily override waiting and in certain instances loading bans too. These could be issued to permit heavy loading and unloading that can’t be practically done elsewhere". Could anyone explain how this works? Is it necessary to obtain such a dispensation before attempting a delivery?

 

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can offer.

 

All the best

You forgot to mention that it's within a bus lane which is why there is a no loading restriction. I doubt that you will get anywhere with this as no loading means just that.

 

Others may have more input.

You can apply for a dispensation, but for a one off delivery the PCN is usually cheaper as Councils charge a fair bit for dispensations and suspensions.

I don't think you could get a dispensation for making deliveries. It's academic anyway.

You can if you couldn't otherwise deliver, for example what if you had a grand piano to deliver for a show and the street outside the venue was 'no loading at anytime'.
