This looks like a typical PCN trying to extort money from a motorist fr a few seconds. You have a consideration period under the code of practice to agree  to the conditions. You need to appeal as the registered keeper only do not under any circumstances name the driver. The PCN does not fully comply with the Act and you need to appeal.I believe this company is affiliated to IAS so you need to appeal to them when your initial appeal is rejected.

Appeal only as the vehicle keeper.

I would clearly point out the road markings (double yellows) do not mean 'no stopping' and that double yellows allow a brief stop to pick up or drop off.

In essence their signage is contradictory in nature - ie a No stopping sign combined with double yellow lines.

No stopping must be supported with double reds.

I am challenging this Parking Charge Notice on the grounds that no contract was formed.

Your own evidence shows the vehicle was stopped for less than one minute. This is not parking; it is a brief stop while the driver attempted to read and understand the terms displayed.

Under the BPA Code of Practice (Section 13), operators must allow a minimum 5‑minute consideration period for drivers to read the signage and decide whether to stay. Issuing a charge for a stop of under one minute is a clear breach of this requirement.

If you are an IPC operator, the IPC Code requires that signage must be clear, prominent, and readable before a driver enters into any contract. A stop of under one minute is not sufficient time to locate, approach, read, and understand the terms.

Because the driver was not afforded the required time to read the terms, no contract could have been formed, and therefore no parking charge is payable.

Please cancel this charge or provide a POPLA/IAS code so the matter can be independently reviewed.

You definitely need to mention the contradictory road markings as this is specifically mentioned in the Code of Practice.

Dump that AI nonsense and write a short letter covering a few points.
