Just got this response back from the council:
The Camera details as follows:
Make and Model Bosch MIC 7502 IP camera 258 The Heathway (Opposite Heathway Station)
Well the contravention looks banged-to-rights:

That being said, three issues arise:
1) There appear to be 13 bus stops on this road, and the PCN doesn't tell you which one it is,
2) There is no evidence of the mandatory yellow plate in the council video, and
3) We have no idea if the camera is approved for parking enforcement.
In the first instance I'd make a basic vague locus representation:
Dear London Borough of Barking and Dagenham,
I challenge liability for PCN BZ99407252 because the alleged contravention did not occur. I further bing a collateral challenge on the basis that the PCN does not adequately particularise the grounds on which the penalty charge was issued, because the location is not specified with adequate precision.
I have checked and there are some 14 bus stops on Heathay, and the penalty charge does not specify where exactly the contravention is alleged to have taken place. It is well established that the PCN must state not just what the alleged contravention is, but also where the alleged contravention is said to have taken place, and the penalty charge notice served in this instance is defective in this regard.
It follows that the PCN must be cancelled.
Yours faithfully
In the meantime I'll try and find out the make and model of the camera.
