ANPR - Horizon Parking - Hotel Nelson Norwich

[candlestick]

Hey! Here is their evidence on the POPLA appeal.

The appellant has stated they were parked in another car park, by the name of
Charles & Wensum House car park. In response to this, the images shown in Section
C show the vehicle entering and exiting the Premier Inn private land.



The above image has been taken from Google maps are shows the road markings
visible in the images taken of the vehicle on the day.

The image of the signs stating “Charles & Wensum House car park” pointing to the
left that the appellant has provided is known on site and is set before the area where
the vehicle was captured. The sign in question points to the left for Charles &Wensum House car park because the car park for Charles & Wensum House car park is on the left before entering Premier Inn’s car park.



Highlighted in blue is the Charles & Wensum House car park and highlighted in green
is the entrance to the Premier Inn car park. Because the vehicle was captured by our
cameras at the entrance to Premier Inn, it is clear the vehicle entered the Premier
Inn car park. If they had used the Charles & Wensum House car park, the vehicle
would not have been captured by our cameras at all.

Horizon Parking Limited has the authority of the legal occupier of the land to provide
parking management services in accordance with the stated terms and conditions of
parking. This is evidenced simply by the existence of Horizon’s equipment being on
the legal occupier’s land. Such equipment could not be on the land without the
consent of the legal occupier. Regardless of these facts, it is settled law that only a
third party with a higher proprietary interest in the land can challenge Horizon’s
authority to act. In absence of such higher proprietary interest, Horizon is under
neither a duty nor obligation to disclose commercial documents between Horizon
and its clients.

All signs state all the specific parking terms and parking charges in the event of a
breach. In accordance with The Private Parking Sector Single Code of Practice, all
signage on site is conspicuous, legible and written in intelligible language. Please see
below in Section E timed and date stamped images of signs and the signage location
plan.

Our position remains that this Parking Charge was issued correctly. We maintain the
appellant entered a valid contract and should pay the valid parking charges as per
the signage on the site.

It impossible to turn left into the Charles and Wensum car park as that entrance is now blocked as is clearly shown in my evidence.
