Do you have (or can you easily acquire) photos of the signage inside the area where the car stopped (i.e. past that entrance sign you've shown us)?
Sufficient for what? Convincing Parking Eye to cancel the charge? Highly unlikely.
The first bit they will just tell you you are wrong.
The second bit they will deny, they send out hundreds of thousands of PCNs which they believe are compliant.
Third bit they are using POFA to hold the keeper, you, liable, so not relevant.
Bottom line is you didn't follow the rules for the drop off zone and I think trying to claim you were dropping off and not parked for 23 minutes would be difficult. I'm not surprised the land owner isn't amenable given the location.
They will also have detailed documentation of the signage so unless some has gone missing that won't get you very far, especially at the first appeal.
So appeal, it will almost definitely get rejected, get a POPLA code, appeal to POPLA, they will probably uphold the issuing of the parking charge, Parking Eye has a fairly high win rate at POPLA. Spend the next few months getting debt collectors letters, followed by a claim which may or may not proceed to court which you will initially have to defend. If it goes to court then you could try the PCN not being 100% compliant defence, then we might know if it has legs.
I am the keeper of the vehicle and I dispute your 'parking charge'. I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner.
As your Notice to Keeper (NtK) does not fully comply with ALL the requirements of PoFA 2012, you are unable to hold the keeper of the vehicle liable for the charge. Partial or even substantial compliance is not sufficient. There will be no admission as to who was driving and no inference or assumptions can be drawn. ParkingEye 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. ParkingEye have no hope at POPLA, so you are urged to save us both a complete waste of time and cancel the PCN.
