So exactly as I said then ... not authorised = no contract.

Hi Jenni, thanks again for helping me. 
I'm sorry to be really dense but can you explain to me how that is the case, just for my own understanding going forward. Thank you!

I've already explained it? If you're not allowed to do something (unauthorised = forbidden) then you cannot create a contractual relationship to do something that you're forbidden from doing, unless the contractual terms allow this. The PCN and sign* you've posted do not - they don't create an offer of parking for a charge of £100 for non-permit holders, do they. Therefore the PCN is a penalty disguised as a contractual charge.

* As far as I can tell - it's too small to read properly.

Hi Jenni, I'm with you now thank you! 
And I haven't altered the quality or size of that photo of the sign, thats literally what they sent me. Its pretty bad, I think they gather their evidence on a 0.5 megapixel camera from 1999!
