Premier Park Parking Charge Cancelled. BPA Code Violation

Premier Park PCN Cancelled. Grace Period and Signage Defects

A motorist parked at a retail site managed by Premier Park and received a charge for overstaying by 12 minutes. The charge was 100 pounds. They checked it with Parking Mate UK.

What Parking Mate UK Found

  1. No Grace Period Applied The ANPR system recorded an overstay of 12 minutes beyond the stated maximum. The BPA Code of Practice requires a consideration period. With a standard 10-minute grace period, the actual overstay was only 2 minutes.
  1. Inconsistent Signage The car park had two entrance signs with different maximum stay times. One stated 3 hours, the other stated 2 hours. This created ambiguity about the actual terms, undermining the contract.
  1. Missing POFA Declaration The Notice to Keeper did not contain the required keeper liability statement.

The Result

The appeal cited the grace period violation, contradictory signage, and missing POFA declaration. Premier Park cancelled the charge.
