FOr heavens sake!!!! Whoever is the registered keeper of the vehicle simply appeals, ONLY as the Keeper or "other" and 100% guaranteed, it will go away!
Use the following, verbatim:
I am the registered keeper. APCOA cannot hold a registered keeper liable for any alleged contravention on land that is under statutory control. As a matter of fact and law, APCOA will be well aware that they cannot use the PoFA provisions because Stansted Airport is not 'relevant land'.
If Stansted Airport wanted to hold owners or keepers liable under Airport Bylaws, that would be within the landowner's gift and another matter entirely. However, not only is that not pleaded, it is also not legally possible because APCOA is not the Airport owner and your 'parking charge' is not and never attempts to be a penalty. It is created for APCOA’s own profit (as opposed to a bylaws penalty that goes to the public purse) and APCOA has relied on contract law allegations of breach against the driver only.
The registered keeper cannot be presumed or inferred to have been the driver, nor pursued under some twisted interpretation of the law of agency. Your NtK can only hold the driver liable. APCOA have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.
That's it. Nothing else. DO NOT start wittering on about the driver having paid it already. Overthink this and you will FUBAR it!

"you're a legal stranger in these matters"!
Hence why I am here asking for advice from those who know far much more on these matters.

OP, you have revealed the driver in your first post.
And if you are not your son, which is likely, then why is your time being wasted, you're a legal stranger in these matters!

Thanks for that...
shouldn't my appeal be based on the fact that the payment was made rather than a legal standpoint.
Just making sure I've got all the details correct.
Thanks
Never risk revealing the driver.

You’re not a new poster, so have you searched the forum for APCOA Stansted ?
Just one: https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/apcoa-stansted-airport-drop-off-pcn/msg82644/#msg82644
You will see that APCOA will cancel in the face of an appeal.

Good afternoon
My son received this this morning.

He paid the charge according to his statement.
They have removed the bars on exit and now rely on you to go online and make the payment. Clearly the payment was made so why the PCN?
Will they compensate me for wasting my time?
Thanks
