Please note, the figures provided show more formal appeals were successful than the number of formal appeals made. This is because the way information is recorded means reporting gives us figures of actions DCC have taken between specified dates only. The date PCNs were initially issued (that were then subject to formal representations) will include a number cases that were issued prior to the start date of the report, but were responded to within the date range of the report.
The numbers provided include representations made against cases issued up to two months before the start of the date range. This is standard for PCN reported.
We cannot issue a Notice to Owner (formal representation) until a period of 35 days after the date of issue. The recipient then has another 28 days to submit a formal representation against their PCN.
