Private parking tickets / APCOA (Park & Control) Golders Hill Park London DISABLED (BLUE BADGE) PARKING

Hello
Please see below on a recent "parking charge" that was received yesterday. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
Upon entering the car park, the driver found a space, parked up, and displayed a valid disabled “blue badge”.
On 17 August, I, the registered keeper, received a PCN through the post. This stated there was a “breach of term & conditions of use”
The car park has always allowed disabled parking, as long as a valid blue badge was displayed (as it was in this case) with no additional requirements. This has been the case since at least 2007. There is no charge for parking.
The disabled "blue badge" was clearly displayed and we do not believe the requirement to pre-register was clearly shown to drivers, who would be focussed on parking and displaying their blue badge.
When you enter the car park it simply says "disabled parking only" (photo 1). Another "sign" in photos 2 + 3 about "disabled parking" was partially obscured by tree / leaves. Additionally, there was nothing to highlight that the "old parking rules" that has been in place for many many years - at least since at least 2007 - had been updated.
Additionally a key information sign (one advising users to register - see photo 4) is not visible to drivers entering the car park. (It only visible to pedestrians. Only the back of that sign / signpost (see photo 5) can be seen by drivers.
Please see images below and for info this link has details of the diabled parking at the park. We had NOT viewed this website prior to the above trip. https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/green-spaces/hampstead-heath/where-to-go-at-hampstead-heath/golders-hill-car-park
