Wow! 28 days is a very long time, plus DVLA are slow on their post

It's a fairly standard turn-around time for somebody to reply to post.

Think about what happens if it arrives the day after they've gone on holiday for two or three weeks...

Guys as it looks like it is going to take time to sort the tax on this car, should she SORN the car?

If she cannot tax the car then how will she SORN it?

If you can't tax it, then it should be kept off public roads.

Hey guys just wanted to know, I have private car park and my own private parking bay which I pay for, would this count as private property to park the car whilst this gets dealt with?

My reading of your post indicates that the space isn't "on street" so it should be fine. If the space is "on street", then you can't use it as a SORN location.

It’s a private car park with a dead end only one entry and exit and should you wish to park there then you need to have a permit which I have.

So long as it is not "a road which is repairable at public expense" (it doesn't sound like it is) then tax is not required.

Also can I SORN the car by filling in V890?

"If you’re not yet registered as the vehicle’s keeper, you must make a SORN by post using a V890 form. Please fill in the appropriate part of the V5C and send it with the V890.

If you don’t have the V5C, fill in form V62 (there’s a fee) and send it with the V890."
