ULEZ Outer London Expansion (29 Aug 2023) — Pre-Expansion Defence
ULEZ expanded to cover all London boroughs on 29 August 2023. PCNs alleging contraventions before this date in outer London are unenforceable as the expanded zone did not exist.
Legal basis
Greater London Low Emission Zone Charging Order 2006 (as amended 2023); Greater London Authority Act 1999
How to identify this in your case
ULEZ PCN with contravention date before 29 August 2023 in outer London (outside the previous North/South Circular boundary).
