Need help with how to proceed with appealing Napier Parking Parking Charge letter

KAJ7020

Hi all, sorry in advance for the complete newb-ness of my post. Just not sure how to proceed with appealing and maybe if there's any point.
So essentially I have been sent a Parking Charge letter issue under the reason No valid parking session detected for the total duration of around 5 and half minutes, in one of my local town centre's car parks.
I never actually parked in a space, or left my vehicle at any point during the whole duration. My youngest son needing picking up from nearby and he met me there. Didn't realise it was an ANPR controlled car park. I honestly have literally only used that car park no more than 2/3 times since it was converted from the town's old bus station years ago. Each of those times for the 30mins tariff, paid my 50p for 30mins, did what I needed to do and buggered off, have never read any of the signs for the car park apart from the tariff prices. So never paid attention to it being ANPR operated. So yes could have avoided this if I was wiser about the car parks operations etc.

But... legally where do I stand with this. It's no more than 6 minutes, never parked in a space, never left the vehicle, pretty sure the cameras only look at the entrance & exit. Surely there's grace period for deciding not to park there or something along those lines?
Do I appeal this using the template and go on from there?
Sorry like I said, complete newb and unsure of where I stand for such a petty amount of time I'm being penalised for?

Many thanks in advance....

The "consideration period" is 5 minutes according to their code of practice, but that doesn't mean you need to pay them because you were not parked, you were loading a passenger.

Use the standard appeal text as KEEPER then ignore them until they send a Letter of Claim or simply ignore them until the Letter of Claim stage.

Complain to the landowner.

Tell Napier if you move in the next 6 years.
