Regulations / rules for visibility of council carpark bay lines?

Hi, I'm trying to appeal a council car park penalty for two reasons - the first that the bay lines weren't visible and the second that, even if they were, I had a good reason to park over them - which is that the car next to me had done so and there were no other spaces available.
The bays in question were demarcated only by a change in the colour of the (poorly maintained / cleaned) brickwork marking the boundary. As the car next to me was already parked over the boundary, I didn't even see that. There was a pillar the other side of me.
From looking online, I've seen reference to rules about the visibility and maintenance of bays, but I can't find anything that looks applicable to council carparks. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

Presumably they have sent a PCN with a picture so it might be great to copy that in here to ensure everyone knows what they are commenting on.

If it is a Council PCN there are very few experts here. Instead, google FTLA forum.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

No specific rules except for the magic words you need to use for such council tickets:
The onus is on the Council to make restrictions clear.1
