I suggest you try the CEO of Homebase and see what they can do. In your complaint remind her/him that you are covered by the Equality Act 2010 as you have "protected characteristics". 
The blue badge scheme does not apply on private land, and it is not the only indicator of a disability. UKPC and the landowner have committed indirect discrimination by not anticipating the needs of a disabled person with protected characteristics. Now hhey know that an occupant of the car is disabled and has protected characteristics as defined by the EA 2010, they will be committing direct discrimination of they proceed to pursue you.

The same complaint should be made to your MP.

Even if Homebase are not the landowner, they must lease the land and therefore know who the landowner is.

Hi
I have had this response from the CEO's office of Homebase:
I am Molly from the CEO Response Team, I work with and reply on the behalf of the Cheif Executive Officer, Damian McGloughlin. The car parks are privately owned by a separate landlord and Homebase has no onus over the car park itself. We will always try our best to accommodate any of our customers and in circumstances where the customer knows they are going to exceed the limit due to things such a Kitchen and Bathroom Appointments or a longer shop in store beyond their control then they can pass their registration number over to an instore colleague who can register the car for that period of time. Unfortunately as they have issued you with a parking fine there is nothing we can do to help, you will need to contact their legal team directly.
 
Sorry that we cannot be any further help.

I have also heard from UK Parking Control and they have refused my appeal and issued a POPLA reference number.

But on 20th March you told us this was all over...

My daughter has just had this from Highview thanks to your help:
Our client has instructed us to discontinue Court proceedings and close our file. Therefore, please find enclosed the Claimant’s N279 Notice of Discontinuance for your records.
Thank you all so much.

What's going on here?

UKPC?? Highview??

I'm not sure but I think the OP was referring to the discontinuance of her daughters court claim, not the PCN the OP received herself from UKPC?

But I could be wrong...

OP please clarify!

Re Homebase, ask them to ask the Store Manager to pass the complaint to the landlord.

Sorry, I was referring to my daughter's claim that you all helped with and have confused matters.

Edgerley Simpson Howe appear to be the property management/lease agents for the site. 020 7758 0400

This gleaned from a quick google search which threw this up: https://images1.loopnet.com/d2/d4Zlqw0YyufSGA36DpBiQRRzlTzuYMC8Y2R2ykrLrkA/document.pdf 

They claim they have had several people ask about parking fines and have nothing to do with it.  I said I disagreed since it is their land. Just a 'computer said no' situation again.

If they are the managers/lease agents for that site then they will be responsible for contracting the PPC. If they are not the landowners, then you should maybe ask them for the landowner's details as either they or the landowner has contracted the PPC and they will be liable for the actions of their agents.

Perhaps a question to them about which one is the monkey and which one is the organ grinder.

What did you say?

 Did you remind them that they are jointly and severally liable for the actions of their agents - including any un regulated parking company they allow to operate on their land and this would include any breach of the Equality act ( disability discrimination) as their agents ( the un regulated parking company) have continued to pursue you despite providing evidence of a long term disability for which a reasonable adjustment must be made    , or did you go in at it along the lines of please cancel the "fine" - of which it is not a fine

I know.  They were more or less saying they just rent it to the parking company. Everyone you contact just says it's not my fault.  They are used to people complaining.
