How to Appeal a Horizon Parking Fine

Who Are Horizon Parking?

Horizon Parking is a private parking management company operating across the UK at retail parks, residential estates, and commercial premises. They use a mix of ANPR cameras and patrol officers, with charges usually £100 reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.

Grounds for Appeal

  • Signage issues: Were parking terms clearly displayed at the entrance and within the site?
  • You had permission: If visiting a business or resident on the site, you may have had legitimate reason to park.
  • ANPR errors: Incorrect entry/exit times or misread registration plates.
  • Grace period not given: At least 10 minutes required under the BPA Code.
  • Late Notice to Keeper: Under POFA 2012, the NtK must be served within the required timeframe.

Residential Estate Fines

Horizon manages parking at many residential estates. If you're a visitor or resident unfairly charged, gather visitor permits, tenancy agreements, or correspondence with estate management.
