PCN in private carpark at residence NO ticket received on car

It would appear that the landlord was/is as unaware of this as you were.

 The landlord should not be helping to pay any of this off, as they will/could be a victim of this as much as you are, you will need to get the landlord on side with you on this, and not against you.

 The landlord should have access to the lease/freehold etc - if you can get the landlords support, all you need  from them is information and you can then do the rest of the dog work with help from here

I submitted my appeal on 8/4/20 and received email confirmation of receipt but no further contact re the outcome (the automated email said not to re-email  and that as expected there were delays in processing appeals due to Covid-19). I've since received more letters from ZZPS increasing the fine (£170) and requesting I pay.

Email a complaint about the lack of POPLA code/rejection letter, to the BPA, Gemma Dorans:

Thanks I will do, I'll keep you updated.

I appreciate that, the landlady has told me there is nothing in the lease re requiring any permit. What other information do you suggest I request (if she replies)?

You could ask the landlady when/if a consultation ending in a ballot of ALL leaseholders/owners was carried out and was the outcome that 75% agreed with no more than 10% disagreeing.

As above, ask when (not if) this ballot took place in accordance with the law, Section 37 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987, pointing out that a change to your lease without said ballot is unlawful. You could also mention that if this goes to court you will require her to attend as a witness.

The L & T Act.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1987/31/contents

37Application by majority of parties for variation of leases.

(1)Subject to the following provisions of this section, an application may be made to [F1the appropriate tribunal] in respect of two or more leases for an order varying each of those leases in such manner as is specified in the application.

(2)Those leases must be long leases of flats under which the landlord is the same person, but they need not be leases of flats which are in the same building, nor leases which are drafted in identical terms.

(3)The grounds on which an application may be made under this section are that the object to be achieved by the variation cannot be satisfactorily achieved unless all the leases are varied to the same effect.

(4)An application under this section in respect of any leases may be made by the landlord or any of the tenants under the leases.

(5)Any such application shall only be made if—

(a)in a case where the application is in respect of less than nine leases, all, or all but one, of the parties concerned consent to it; or

(b)in a case where the application is in respect of more than eight leases, it is not opposed for any reason by more than 10 per cent. of the total number of the parties concerned and at least 75 per cent. of that number consent to it.

(6)For the purposes of subsection (5)—

(a)in the case of each lease in respect of which the application is made, the tenant under the lease shall constitute one of the parties concerned (so that in determining the total number of the parties concerned a person who is the tenant under a number of such leases shall be regarded as constituting a corresponding number of the parties concerned); and

(b)the landlord shall also constitute one of the parties concerned.

You can obtain a copy of the lease from the land registry online for about £3. You don't need to get it from the your landlady.

Unless your AST agreement with your landlord transfers obligations onto you as an AST tenant, you are not contractually bound by the lease as you are not the long leaseholder and have not contracted with the freeholder. 

That's just an FYI, not specific advice as I'm not a parking specialist.

You could mention to the landlady that, if this agent of the freeholders contoinues to breach your AST, without her interceding, you'll sue her. Youre meant to be allowed peaceable enjoyment, and this agent - which she bears responsiblility for allowing to remain and harass - is breaching that.
