Unfair Horizon parking ticket

Hi, I received a parking ticket from Horizon which is unfair as I have not used the car park. I parked on the street, but the ANPR caught my plate and have issued me a fine. I have attached images of the ticket. I also show on the photos where I parked (please see the blue drawings showing where I parked).
I am wondering if you could help me consider whether it is worth to appeal. I know these companies are a scam and will try and get as much as they can. However, I feel I was not at fault and I have not made use of the car park at all. There were other cars parked on the street too. I looked and saw no signs stating any restriction. There are signs on the start of the parking bays, but I assumed they were for people parking in the car park bays and not for people parking on the street. Also, there is no signs on the street stating anything about private parking.
Anyway, I read extensively on horizon and It seems the claim about non Pofa compliance is not longer an issue. I was the driver, but the car is registered to my wife.
Do you think I just appeal as a driver and try and state honestely what happened and hope they have some sense? Do you think I have grounds to appeal?
Also, is there anyway I can request that Horizon give my the ANPR recording which shows the car parked on the street and not on the car park bay? This will just settle the matter I think.
By the way, I was not in the hotel, but visiting another person who works in area. So not sure I can ask the land owner to help.
Any advice would be really helpful.
thanks
