What is a Kensington and Chelsea penalty charge notice?

A penalty charge notice from Kensington and Chelsea is a civil penalty issued under the Traffic Management Act 2004. It is not a criminal fine, but it does carry legal consequences if you do not respond within the required timescales.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea enforces parking restrictions using a combination of civil enforcement officers and CCTV cameras. Common contraventions in Kensington and Chelsea include meter bay, residents parking, single yellow line, suspended bay, loading bay.

You have 28 days from the date of the PCN to pay at the discounted rate or make an informal challenge. If you do not respond, Kensington and Chelsea will issue a notice to owner, which gives you 28 days for formal representations. If those are rejected, you can appeal to London Tribunals.

Parking Mate UK checks your Kensington and Chelsea PCN for signage defects, incorrect contravention codes, observation period errors, service timeline failures, and camera evidence issues. If grounds are found, you receive a professional appeal letter ready to send.

Common Kensington and Chelsea PCN defects

Signage defects

Kensington and Chelsea must display clear, visible signage at the location of the contravention. Missing, obscured, or contradictory signs can invalidate the penalty charge notice.

Incorrect contravention code

The contravention code on your Kensington and Chelsea PCN must accurately describe the alleged offence. A mismatch between the code and the actual circumstances is a procedural defect.

Observation period errors

For certain contraventions, Kensington and Chelsea enforcement officers must observe the vehicle for a minimum period before issuing a PCN. Failure to observe for the required time is a common defect.

Service timeline failures

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea must serve each notice within strict deadlines. A PCN served by post must be sent within 28 days of the contravention. Late service can render the notice unenforceable.

Camera evidence defects

Kensington and Chelsea camera-issued PCNs must include clear photographic evidence with accurate timestamps. Common defects include incorrect camera angles, missing calibration records, and unclear images.

Successful appeal against a PCN from a car park with poorly worded signs. Premier Park rejected my first appeal, so I went to the ombudsman where it was accepted. Definitely worth the effort.
