Quick answer

Contravention code 84 means: Parked with payment made to extend the stay beyond initial time.

Hounslow enforces this via civil enforcement officers on the street.

What a Hounslow code 84 PCN means for you

You have received a penalty charge notice from Hounslow with contravention code 84. In plain English, this means the council considers that you parked with payment made to extend the stay beyond initial time.

The legal basis for this PCN is the parking enforcement scheme, backed by a traffic regulation order (TRO or TMO) that Hounslow must have properly made and signed. Without a valid order and compliant signage, the restriction is not enforceable.

To challenge this PCN, you can make formal representations to Hounslow. If the council rejects your representations, you have the right to appeal to London Tribunals. The adjudicator's decision is independent and binding on the council.
