Car Parking Appeals Procedures
Departments
Departmental appeals for changes to allocations, including requests for exchanges of peak permits and operational spaces, and exemptions from the student eligibility rule should be directed to the Sustainable Travel Officer at Estates Services who will then bring them to the attention of the Car Parking Working Group (CPWG). Subsequent appeals against the decisions of that body should be directed to the Chairman of BESC and copied to the Director of Estates Services.
Staff Members
Staff wishing to appeal for their permit application to be reconsidered should contact their departmental administrator in the first instance. Rulings are to be made by the Head of Department, or their nominated deputy. If not satisfied, the staff member may appeal to the CPWG via the Sustainable Travel Officer at Estates Services. After this the staff member has a final recourse to the Chairman of BESC.
Appealing against enforcement
Details of how to make an appeal are included on the Civil Parking Notice. Appeals can be submitted by post to Car Parking Partnership, PO Box 597, Northampton, NN4 7XN or online. Appellants will need to reference both the Vehicle Registration Mark and Civil Parking Notice number. Appellants do not need to pay the parking charge whilst appealing. Once an appeal is received by Car Parking Partnership, the enforcement process is stopped until a decision on the appeal is made. Car Parking Partnership will accept or reject appeals within 35 days from the date they received it.
