3. Regulations, Grace Periods & PCN Protocol
10-Minute Grace Period
Under the Deregulation Act 2015, local authorities in England must provide a mandatory 10-minute grace period before issuing a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). This applies exclusively to designated parking bays where a ticket or session has expired.
Where the Grace Period Does NOT Apply
The 10-minute rule does not apply if you never purchased a ticket or session, parked outside marked bay lines, or stopped on loading bans, double yellow lines, or bus stops.
Challenging a Penalty Charge Notice
If you receive a PCN issued by Mid Devon District Council, submit an informal appeal within 14 days of the date of issue. If the Council rejects your challenge, they will issue a formal Notice to Owner (NtO), allowing formal representations or subsequent independent appeal to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
