A company vehicle was delivering to a contractors premises, Oakleaf Recycling which is situated on a private access road owned by Oak Leaf Farms. The Recycling business is seemingly a lease holder.

We have had 5 of these before that were subsequently cancelled. They were all recorded stopped on the road waiting to enter the site due to its limited capacity.
This time the vehicle had stopped coming out of the site. I didn't know why at first and didn't look into it as I don't have the time to investigate everything. As far as I'm concerned, there is an implied licence to use the road as a customer/supplier of the leasehodler.
We received a Parking Charge NtK, I appealed it on the information I had at the time on 20th February.

Also emailed the "Head of Legal Compliance" on 23rd February, as he had previously assisted in getting the previous ones cancelled and seemed reasonable.

I later found out the vehicle had a defect that made it unsafe to continue it's commercial operations, or frankly to be on the road at all.
I submitted this information to the operator on 26th February with an invoice for the repairs made at Scania Heathrow that was a few miles down the road.

Then we received an appeal rejection notice yesterday, 02/03/2026.

After that was received, I sent our Head of Legal Compliance ex-friend, an email as the rejection notice did not consider the vehicle defect.

The Head of Legal Compliance thinks he did something by repeatedly saying every aspect of the code and case law I mentioned is misplaced, but then simultaneously only comes out with waffle himself. He also thinks he exposed me by stating some of my points are similar to those found on FTLA forums at the same time he's quoting Beavis for a business access road with no invitation to park. It was a poor attempt to discourage me from taking it further I know.
But my only option here is to appeal to IAS. If you remember anything about my employer, it's that they won't take this to court. They get spooked by their stupid debt collector letters and pay it. Which makes my job all the more impossible.
In terms of appealing to IAS, what is the best strategy? I know with POPLA there is basically no point in appealing on legal grounds as the assesors will overlook it, but clear PPSSCoP breaches can be considered. Such as if a consideration period has not been exceeded.
I am aware that IAS is much worse though.
Alternatively, is it possible to provide my details as the driver details so all correspondence comes to me personally so I can deal with it,or is that a really bad idea?
