Looking at your GSV link, I can see nothing that would prevent a BB holder of parking there. There are double-yellow lines, but no kerb blips to indicate a loading restriction. So I suspect it was the display of the BB nd/or its clock that has caused the PCN.
So I suggest you submit representations pointing out that the BB and clock were correctly placed on the car dashboard by the windscreen, so can see no reason for the PCN being served and request that it be cancelled forthwith. Post up their reply when you get it.

What are the PCN number and car VRM. Or check yourself for council pics. If not online, ask for them.

Hi both, thanks for responding, please see responses to queries below.
Please post the PCN (both sides) so this can be reviewed.
Front and back of PCN as requested, thanks.

Using GSV, please tell us exactly where the car was parked. A link like this is preferable with text to say where the car was: -

To do this, look at black square top left of a GSV street view. Click on the three vertical dots, then select "Share or embed image" then follow the instructions on the box. You'll get the link into your Clipboard, from whence it can be pasted into your thread.
Thanks for the instructions, I had no idea you could do this. Please see here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z4zNY2R2PFfQdAqv9
Family member believes car was parked almost exactly where the one in the photo is shown, and at most to account for error, maybe 1-2 foot further forwards, facing same direction.

Hi all,
Posting on behalf of a family member who received a PCN from East Riding Council, despite as far as we can tell, doing nothing wrong.
The PCN itself states "Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours" issued at 12:32pm.
I have revisited the street and cannot see any parking signs regarding prescribed/prohibited hours.
Using Google street view, the car was parked pretty much exactly where the white car is on the photo below:
- It is/was on double yellow lines but said family member is disabled, visiting the podiatry clinic directly opposite that can be seen in the photo (usually parking is available in the town square behind but it is closed for building works).
- They put in their blue badge with the clock at 11:45am, the PCN was received less than 1 hour later at 12:32pm.
- There is a loading bay behind the double yellow lines but no prescribed hours just a "Goods vehicle loading only" sign

To find said place on the map, you can Google 21 Southgate, Hessle, England.
Thanks in advance for any responses here, the family member was under the assumption they could park here for up to 2 hours on double yellow lines with their blue badge should they need to (as in this instance).
Thanks,
Dan.
