Pcn Formal Appeal

[tali1]

If an informal appeal for a PCN is rejected does this mean the discounted fine is no longer available once it goes to formal appeal?

[factor-fiction]

Is it a fine?

Who issued the PCN? Unless it was the council or Network Rail you can probably just ignore it

As long as you first contact the relevant council within 14 days of receiving the PCN (or 21 days if the PCN was issued by post), rejection of an informal appeal still allows you to pay at the lower rate:

yes it is council
Yes i'm aware of the link , what i mean is once it goes to next stage which is Notice To owner then the full penalty applies - even if you do a formal appeal?

Once a Notice to Owner has been sent out the full amount applies.

With reference to your other thread on this subject, the fact that an area is pedestrianised doesn't stop it from coming under the same legislation as a road. If, for example, you were to park on a grass verge (or paved area) where there were yellow lines on the road, you would still be subject to the restrictions imposed by those lines (even though you were parking outside of them). So the fact that you parked in a pedestrianised area doesn't mean that 'road' restrictions don't apply and, just as with parking on yellow lines, there is no obligation for a council to display a notice relating to penalties.
