Yes, you can appeal if your parking permit application is denied, but this can only occur after a Formal Representation has been rejected. The appeal process involves submitting your case to the Independent Adjudicator at the Environment Traffic Adjudicators (ETA) if you disagree with the decision of the representation.
Here’s a quick overview of the key steps for the appeal process:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Who can appeal? | Only the registered keeper of the vehicle |
| Timeframe for appeal | 28 days from the date on the Notice of Rejection |
| Method of appeal | Complete the appeal application online or by post |
| Hearing options | Choose between a personal hearing or postal decision |
| Evidence required | Submit evidence supporting your appeal; Newham Council will also submit evidence |
| Decision | Adjudicator’s decision is binding; appeal can either be allowed (PCN cancelled) or refused (full payment required) |
If you need to start the appeal process, you can find more information and apply online through the London Tribunals' online appeals portal.
