Is this sign worth the time it's printed on?

Sadly the last statement is incorrect.

The Order prohibits use for human habitation or any domestic purpose. Consequently overnight usage may result in a PCN ...

It doesn't matter what the order says. We don't know what order it refers to. How are we to find it? Atr mdinight. In the rain. If the sign does not tell us that human habitation or domestic purposes are not permitted then we are not to know of thses restrictions. We have to depend on the informatin given us by the council on the spot. This sign permits parking for 24 hours. Whatever might happen after 24 houirs then I don't know but the council would have hard time justifiiying a PCN on any grounds other than, maybe and only maybe, parking in excess of 24 hoirs. I'd guess that there will e no PCN issued for the very good reason that it would never be upheld on appeal.

I fully agree with you and so, apparently does the old guy that was obviously staying there in his van.

Why would you want to stay for more than 24 hours unless that is you want to set up camp and live there semi-permanently ?

Maybe you want to spend a week or fortnights holiday there instead of paying normal campsite fees.

I can't think anyone would but according to Chris we can't do that despite the fact the sign does not refer to sleeping or overnighting. Windsurfing was invented in Langstone Harbour apparently and this car park is used by those enthusiasts, in there VW's on summer weekends.
