ANPR PCN Appeal to POPLA on Medical Grounds

I'm prepping my appeal to POPLA.

I was going thru Whittington when my DIABETES Sensor alarm went off, so needed to pull over sharpish, I saw a sign for the castle and dived into the car park to deal with whatever the alarm was for.  Cant touch my phone while driving.
I was having a hypo and it was actually quite a sharp fall.

In the appeal to Minster Baywatch - I provided - evidence of my sensor reading and the time.  The NHS guidelines about consequences and wording around 'immediate attention, dangerous etc).  I followed the 15-15 rule (15g of carbs - check after 15mins).  this also tallied with the 15 mins I was in the carpark.  TBH I saw no camera or signs, but to be on the safe side I included a bit about dealing with the emergency focused all my attention.

the car park is 100+ miles away so no chance of getting signage info or photos - so that avenue was dead.
I did the apeal as owner, but its clear to anyone that the situation was happening to me as the driver. Thats a lesson for future I suppose, I could have made the reply in the third person rather than 'I'.
I have tried appealing to landowners to cancel, but had no response.

This for some reason wasn't good enough for Minster Baywatch, I wonder why? :D

Do I just go all in for Joint Code of Practice section F, Annex F, subsection F.1(e)

e) a vehicle that has been driven onto controlled land due to an emergency which could not be avoided due to the exceptional nature of an incident outside of the control of the driver, e.g. serious illness

I have evidence supporting Time, emergency condition backed up with readings from the App, NHS guidelines, NHS consequences supporting emergency action and I only stayed for the timeline of the medical guidance backed up by their own PCN?

Is it worth. adding in a smidgen of Equalities act?

Out of interest, if it went to court could they ask for my sensor reading history?  I don't want any Tom, !!!!!! or Harry seeing my medical history.

    Who is the landowner, what did you say to them?
    Where is the car park?

    Popla will not take mitigating evidence into account and the parking industry does not care for things such as disability discrimination - it just wants your money
