Parking Charge Reference:
Vehicle Registration: 
Location: Leeds City Station, LS1 4DY

Dear 

Thank you for your appeal submitted on 12th June 2026. After reviewing your comments, and carefully considering
the evidence collected at the time the Parking Charge was issued, we regret to inform you that your appeal has
been unsuccessful. The reasons for our decision are detailed below:

The Parking Charge was issued because the vehicle was stopped within an area where No Stopping is permitted.
The Terms and Conditions displayed at the location clearly state that vehicles must not stop within the restricted
area. This restriction applies regardless of the duration of the stop, whether the vehicle was occupied, or whether
the driver remained with the vehicle.

You have raised concerns regarding keeper liability and the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. This Parking
Charge was issued as a Non-PoFA matter, and liability under Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012
is not being relied upon. The appeal has therefore been considered on the basis of the available evidence and the
circumstances of the incident.

As the registered keeper has not provided any evidence identifying another driver, and the appeal has been
submitted on behalf of the vehicle, the matter has been considered on the assumption that the keeper was the
driver at the time of the incident.

You state that the vehicle was not parked and that the registered keeper cannot be held liable. However, the
restriction at this location is a No Stopping restriction and does not require a vehicle to be parked in a bay, left
unattended, or remain stationary for a prolonged period. The evidence confirms that the vehicle was stopped
within the restricted area. The IPC Code of Practice requires motorists to comply with the Terms and Conditions displayed on private land.

The signage at this location clearly communicates the No Stopping restriction and is positioned to provide
motorists with reasonable notice of the applicable terms. It is not feasible or required for signage to be placed at
every possible stopping point, provided that the terms are clearly displayed throughout the controlled area.
The reason for stopping does not provide an exemption from the restriction. Whether the vehicle stopped briefly,
remained occupied, or the driver intended to leave shortly afterwards does not alter the fact that stopping occurred
in an area where stopping is prohibited.

Having reviewed all points raised, together with the available evidence, we are satisfied that the Parking Charge
was issued correctly and in accordance with the IPC Code of Practice. The Parking Charge will therefore remain
payable.

The area where the vehicle stopped is designated as private land where parking, stopping, or waiting is strictly
prohibited at all times.

At the time of the event, the vehicle was parked, stopped or waiting in this area, and as a result, the driver
contractually agrees to pay a parking charge.

Attached, you will find photographic evidence showing the vehicle parked at the location mentioned above.
We have extended the opportunity for you to pay the reduced amount of, £60.00, until 26/07/2026, after this date,
the full amount of £100.00 will be due.

Regards,
Appeals Team
