10.3 Within 14 days of issue of a Penalty Charge Notice being issued, the keeper of the vehicle may make a written challenge against the issue of the Penalty Charge Notice. Within this challenge the motorist can mention any mitigating circumstances as well as challenging the validity of the Penalty Charge Notice. You can make this appeal using the informal challenge form.
10.4 The NPP (Notts Parking Partnership) will endeavour to respond, in writing, within 8 working days of receipt of the challenge and must either give notification of acceptance of the challenge and cancellation of the Penalty Charge Notice or rejection of the challenge.
10.5 If a challenge is rejected the written notification from the NPP must give precise reasons why this decision has been reached. Providing the written challenge was received within 14 days of the Penalty Charge Notice being issued the discounted rate will be restarted and last for 14 days from the date of the rejection notice.
10.6 If a challenge is received later than 14 days from the date of the Penalty Charge Notice issue it will be dealt with in the same way but the discounted period will not be restarted and the full amount will be payable. This fact should be included within the notice of rejection.
10.7 The making of a challenge in no way detracts from the ability of the keeper to make a subsequent formal representation against the issue of the Penalty Charge Notice to the NPP or to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
