I think I just got lucky but this forum really helped - I wouldn't have normally even appealed so really grateful to the community here!

I wrote to PCM and told them that 5 minutes is simply not enough consideration time for the driver to understand/accept the T&Cs. I also said that this was covert surveillance to issue a PCN where the consideration period had not ended. Also threw in a bit about the charge being disproportionate and not commercially justifiable (the amount charged is not based upon any commercially justifiable loss to their company or the landowner).

I'll try Plan A, and Plan B if that fails - fingers crossed! It's always worth a try even if it fails.

The driver entered the car park bay at 15:27 and went into the coop to get an item. There was another person sitting and waiting in the car at this time. A person in the car behind us took the images of the vehicle stopping and leaving. No ticket was issued on the spot. The driver returned to the car and left at 15:32. On 7th August, the registered keeper (who was not the driver at the time) received the postal notification of parking charge to keeper letter. Here is the front of the letter: https://imgur.com/a/ZRcstYband the back: https://imgur.com/a/LYpPv4zAnd here is the image provided as evidence of the car arriving: https://imgur.com/a/n55Rjf7and leaving: https://imgur.com/a/cNZV4GwThe signage at the car park indicates that the first 30 minutes are free but vehicles must be registered for this parking session. Here is the signage: https://imgur.com/a/umv7bvQ Please could someone help me appeal this? We were only there for 5 minutes and no PCN was issued to the driver on the spot. It was so sneaky of them to sit in the car and take pictures like that. Also, the dates are so confusing - according to the letter the PCN was "issued" on 27th July, the date of posting the notice is 31st July, the date the notice is given is 2nd Aug and it was received today on 7th Aug.I would really appreciate any help. This seems really unfair...Thank you so much in advance!
