Overview
Parked in a designated permit-only bay with no permit shown at all.
From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
Different from code 12 — this is where no permit is displayed whatsoever, not just an invalid one. CEOs are trained to check for virtual permits on council systems before issuing.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- CEO failed to check virtual permit register
- Permit purchased but not yet activated
- New resident with temporary permission not recorded
Your rights
If you have a valid permit registered digitally, request evidence the CEO checked the virtual permit system before issuing.
