The NtK is not PoFA compliant for a couple of reasons but, as others have already said, this non-compliance rarely works in the first two appeals.
Firstly, if your were a genuine customer of Iceland then you should speak to the manager as they would have the power to get it cancelled - take the NtK with you so you can demonstrate the minimal (petty) contravention.
Whilst you are there I would get some pictures of the signage (as already advised).
I have examined the signage as best I can on GSV and I cannot see a specific clause regarding marked bays but I am examining a pretty blurry image so I cannot be 100% certain on that point.

There is no “period of parking” per https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/9/schedule/4
8(1)A notice which is to be relied on as a notice to keeper for the purposes of paragraph 6(1)(a) is given in accordance with this paragraph if the following requirements are met.
(2)The notice must—
(a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;
but any appeal based around this will be rejected anyway. You can appeal on this basis and then appeal to the IAS who will also reject it and then use as an appeal against a county court claim which may ultimately be discontinued.
Search the forum for similar cases.
Passengers remaining in the car is irrelevant, as @ixxy says. The car was still parked.

Passenger being in the car is irrelevant. Need to see the signage, does it clearly state not parking within a bay is a breach of the Ts & Cs? This is Excel parking who make the rest of the industry look ethical and principled so don't expect an appeal to work. They are also IPC (also known as International Parking Cowboys) member so a second stage appeal to IAS is also extremely likely to fail. Pay the invoice or strap in for the long haul and increasing threatening letters from debt collectors.
