PCN issued from NPM on private road.

Evening all, I've received a PCN from NPM for parking on a private road.

Attached is the redacted NTK.

I thought I'd ask for your opinions before I appeal. (Last time I did my best before involving you guys which made it harder - Still won in court though).

Assuming the NTK is POFA compliant, am I correct in thinking that I'm still allowed a 5 minute grace period to consider the terms? Double yellows shouldn't carry any weight on private land surely?

Put simply, I loathe these companies, but I would really rather avoid another protracted civil claim against me.

DYLs normally allow for the loading and unloading of goods and/or passengers

Thank you. The driver was also there for a period of less than 5 minutes.

I assume a "consideration period" applies under contract law even on strict "no parking" private roads?

I think trying to use both the loading argument alongside the consideration period might conflict each other (the driver was either doing one or the other).

I know they're IPC and appeal is probably a waste of time, but if I were to try, which one would be the better approach?

I think it would also be worth lodging a formal complaint with IPC about NPM's predatory conduct and knowingly skirting the law for profit, copying it in to my local MP.

I'll have to go back and check but I believe the photos are from a CCTV camera with no signage on entry of being recorded, also breaching GDPR 2018.
