I was there in August this year too and they were the same then.<br /><br />Hope the appeal works.<br /><br />I think they take the signs down in the off season. This is a tourist trap after all.<br /><br />Maybe try giving the golf club a ring or emailing. I think the secretary there can waive the tickets. No idea if it will work but as you were doing what you did to enable access to the golf club maybe he'll take your side.<br /><br />Let us know how it goes.Dave Mallethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759901558924059319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-20655675725039222802015-12-18T13:27:09.976-08:002015-12-18T13:27:09.976-08:00Hi, I received a parking fine after pulling into t...Hi, I received a parking fine after pulling into the car park with my boat as the barrier on the slip road down to the beach was down and i was blocking the road. Apparently I was there 20 mins waiting for the barrier to go up and hence got a ticket. I thought there was 20 mins free anyway as they run our local hospital car park and that has 20 mins free waiting time.<br />Unfortunately I was off to the continent 2 days later so didn't get any of the tickets until after the appeal time. I've appealed partially based on the fact that I didn't see the signage and assumed that I had 20 mins free parking anyway.<br />Can anyone tell me if these signs are still the same or if any new ones have appeared as I live over 4 hours away and it would cost me as much in fuel to go check as it would to pay the fine.<br />ThanksJ Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826578772234862368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-15622018853962518492014-09-12T01:42:05.025-07:002014-09-12T01:42:05.025-07:00That would mean a sign necessary confirm to BPA gu...That would mean a sign necessary confirm to BPA guidelines was omitted from the the Planning Application. <br /><br />So currently:<br />1) There are six signs that have planning permission, which contravene BPA guidance. <br />2) There's one sign in keeping with BPA guidance but that doesn't have planning permission.<br /><br />Equating to a grand total of zero signs that both have planning permission and comply with BPA guidance.<br /><br />To comply with the planning permission (they're so fond of quoting) they'd need to remove the sign, making their contravention of BPA guidelines even more salient.

It's one of these: http://imgur.com/LnZtnp9 (actually double the size of that because it's duplicated in Welsh).<br /><br />Relevant planning document is "Reduction_in_No_of_signs_plans_-_16-04-13.pdf" which leads to 43074-267899.pdf. It's the top left blue circle.<br /><br />There's a green sign in that location (back to back with the white one), that's visible as you leave. But no mention of the white one (that you're supposed to see on entrance).<br /><br />Does anybody know when Parking Eye started adding signs like that to their sites? When the regulations were changed to require it?<br /><br />Is this something that's been added without planning permission (within the last 18 months?) in order to attempt to comply with BPA regulations?Dave Mallethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759901558924059319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-71416619848537186452014-09-11T07:01:20.422-07:002014-09-11T07:01:20.422-07:00The key point is "modified following planning...The key point is "modified following planning requirements".<br />Every ticket will be incorrectly issued and the DVLA should be warned as such.<br />Any PE request for this location should be rejected.Blueskierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708682065698511254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-50343325246614304132014-09-11T06:16:22.019-07:002014-09-11T06:16:22.019-07:00I emailed the manager of the Golf Club this mornin...I emailed the manager of the Golf Club this morning and the response is as follows;<br /><br />The signs have been configured according to the regulations as agreed by Parking Eye and then modified following the requirements of the planning requirements from the County Council.
