So I've got a reply to my appeal, as you expected @Coupon-mad it has been denied, with a photo of the parking charges sign.

They've still got the wrong address on the letter that was attached to the E-Mail even though I put an updated address in when submitting the appeal. (V5C is currently in the process of being updated as we moved recently).

The land is owned by ECP Holding Ltd, so I don't think there is any point complaining to them to cancel the parking ticket.

I guess I have to fight this now with POPLA, though I'm scared there isn't a huge scope for winning there.

Ticket purchased 13:33

Ticket shows expiry 16:33
CCTV shows vehicle leaving car park 16:49
So it was 6 minutes after the BPA's minimum grace period.of 10 minutes to leave a car park.
(Although the PCN is claiming I stayed for 3 hours 26 mins).

Couldn't have gotten into the car with a howling child after their accident let alone left the car park

I wouldn't bother with POPLA, which doesn't consider mitigating circumstances.

Easier to let it run its course to a court claim BUT the old address still being in their database is a problem. Send an email to their DPO (see ECP's data privacy page).

Then carry on with life and we'll see you next year if they get one of the law firms to sue. That's when you get proper dispute resolution.
