The suggestion is that the driver did not have the consideration period to engage with the signs and therefore did not agree to the terms and conditions. The first step is to appeal as the registered keeper and do not mention the driver outlining you defence. Normally 5 minutes is granted but if you can provide sufficient information however unlikely they may not pursue the PCN. You then appeal to POPLA and see what transpires.

Hi everyone,
I have received a Parking Charge Notice (Notice to Keeper) from Britannia Parking for "Parked/stopped in a no parking area" at Bromley Police Station Access Road, High Street Access.
Date of Event: 11/05/2026
Date of Notice: 15/05/2026
Vehicle Entry: 16:43:46
Vehicle Exit: 16:50:02
Total Duration: 6 minutes 16 seconds
Context:
The vehicle did not park or voluntarily stop on the access road. The driver used the access road for its intended purpose: to enter the Waitrose car park.
Upon entering the access road, progress was initially delayed because the driver directly in front completely blocked the road to let a passenger down. Once that vehicle moved, the driver proceeded directly into the Waitrose car park, dropped off a passenger there, turned around, and exited back down the access road.
Britannia’s ANPR cameras have merely recorded the total transit and turnaround time (6 mins 16 secs) between the main road entry and exit points. They have no video evidence or photographic proof of the vehicle actually being stationary, let alone "parked," on the restricted access road itself. The vehicle was in motion or waiting in traffic for the duration, using the road strictly for access to the retail site.

I would appreciate your advice on how best to word the initial appeal to Britannia as the Registered Keeper.
Thank you!
