Street view shows only the South end of Amhurst gardens is in a
Controlled Parking Zone, but the Hounslow map shows that the
rest of road is now also in a (different) parking zone. So you
should have passed a sign as you drove in highlighting the
change in Zone. Are you able to go back and have a look / take
pictures?

There aren't any road markings in the council's photos therefore
either this is a monumental c**k-up by them or they consider
that you were parked in a Permit Parking Area(not a controlled
zone, but a PPA).
But there aren't any photos of a PPA sign either!
IMO, evidentially their photos are b******s, but this won't
necessarily stop them at this stage!
Are you able to return to see whether PPA signs are present -
see this link to their form and use:

There's nothing about a PPA on the map or in the latest notice
of order, which refers to a CPZ - I can't find the actual order.
Resident permit parking is indicated along both sides of most of
the road.

There are a number of small CPZs there or what they call CPZs -
if they are CPZs there is no contravention as CPZs can't have
unrestricted kerbs.
We need to see zone signage in the area.

Look for CPZ signs - (I have posted the boundaries they have on
their map above):

I visited the area over the weekend, these are the pictures from
both ends of Amhurst Gardens and some from the middle of the
road.

So it's a PPA. It's a bit strange having one starting part way
on a road that also has a CPZ.
It looks to be well signed with entry signs on both sides and
repeater signs.
The only thing I can see to question is the order establishing
it as it doesn't appear on their order map.
