What is a Transport for London LEZ PCN?

The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) covers most of Greater London and primarily targets heavier vehicles including lorries over 3.5 tonnes, buses and coaches over 5 tonnes, and larger vans and minibuses. It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Vehicles that do not meet the required Euro VI emission standard for diesel must pay a daily charge or receive a penalty charge notice from Transport for London. Cars and motorcycles are not subject to the LEZ; they fall under the ULEZ scheme instead.

The penalty structure differs from other TfL charges. For larger vehicles (lorries, buses, coaches), the daily charge is £100 and the PCN penalty is £1,000, reduced to £500 within 14 days. For smaller applicable vehicles, the penalty is £160, reduced to £80.

Parking Mate UK checks your LEZ PCN against vehicle classification records, retrofit certification, exemption eligibility, and camera evidence quality. If defects or valid grounds are found, you receive a professional letter for representations to TfL or appeal to London Tribunals.

Common Transport for London LEZ PCN defects

Incorrect vehicle classification

If Transport for London's records incorrectly classify your vehicle's emission standard, you can challenge by providing the V5C, manufacturer specifications, or DVLA records.

Retrofit certification

If your vehicle has been retrofitted to meet the required emission standard, you must have valid certification. If TfL's records do not reflect the retrofit, provide the certification.

Exemption eligibility

Certain vehicles are exempt from the LEZ including military vehicles, historic vehicles, and vehicles used for specific agricultural purposes. If eligible, the PCN is invalid.

Camera evidence defects

ANPR evidence must correctly identify your vehicle. Incorrect number plate readings, system errors, or unclear images are valid grounds for challenge.

Vehicle not subject to LEZ

The LEZ applies to heavier vehicles only. If your vehicle does not meet the weight or category threshold (cars, motorcycles, lighter vans), it should not be subject to the LEZ charge.

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.
