Why Brent appeals succeed

Across thousands of PCNs we've seen issued in Brent, the appeals that work tend to cluster around the same handful of grounds. We build your letter around whichever applies to you.

Signage and road markings were inadequate

London Borough of Brent can only enforce a parking restriction if the signs and lines comply with the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions and the relevant Traffic Management Order. Faded lines, missing signs, contradictory information or a sign that was not visible from where the driver parked are all grounds for cancellation.

The contravention did not occur

Sometimes the PCN is simply wrong on the facts — the vehicle was not where the warden recorded, the time on the ticket does not match the photos, or you were loading or unloading and the loading exemption applies.

There was a procedural error

PCNs have to follow strict procedural rules under the Traffic Management Act 2004 and the relevant regulations. Late service, missing information on the Notice to Owner, or an incorrect contravention code can all invalidate the penalty.

Mitigating circumstances

Brent has discretion to cancel a PCN where there are exceptional circumstances — a medical emergency, a vehicle breakdown, a Blue Badge that fell off the dashboard, or a pay-and-display machine that was out of service. A well-evidenced mitigation letter regularly succeeds at the informal-representations stage.
