- authorised vehicle-list management.
- privacy purpose, retention and signage.
Plan the next decision
Define what happens when a plate is unreadable or a vehicle is not recognised. Treat personal-data governance and physical access operation as connected requirements.
Define the person who can authorise work, the access conditions and the outcome required. Where the subject affects safety, security or compliance, use the competent assessment and premises-specific information required for that system.
Records and follow-up
Keep the instruction, findings, action taken, completion evidence and any open recommendation with its owner and due date.
Related work
Use the relevant commercial route, browse maintenance and contact the responsible business with the site-specific requirement.

See current official guidance. Apply it to the actual premises and recheck current requirements before relying on time-sensitive details.
Frequently asked questions
What should an ANPR brief define?
Set out the entrance, authorised vehicles, visitors and how exceptions are handled. Include lighting, communications and who manages vehicle permissions.
What if a registration is not recognised?
Agree a practical alternative access process and who can resolve it. Test the intended vehicle movements as part of the installation handover.
