Routed distance from your car park entrance to each station entrance
An explicit finding where no liability arises
The authorities applied, and their status at the date of the report

Part two · the evidence pack

Substantiation

A dated capture for every rate — archived page, operator email, or file-noted call
Route maps showing the measured path and the distance
The s 39E arithmetic in full: fee, period, divisor, result
Come-and-go confirmation for any periodic rate relied on
The basis on which each facility was treated as a commercial parking station
Whether each rate remains publicly available at the date of the report
