So the location is here, if I am correct: -
HTML https://maps.app.goo.gl/J8v5vKxbbHMU4bXK8
Obviously parking on the tarmac behind the footway is tolerated,
because in the strict legal sense of the 70s legislation, the
offence covers up to the property line, which here is the shop
front.
The PCN photos are frames from a CCTV camera, and the only way
to see it is to request the videeo from TfL which comes as a
DVD, (yes TfL are in the IT Dark Ages!). However, requesting
this puts about 10 days freeze on enforcement so gives you and
us time to see if the TfL video really is showing what it says
it is showing. So phone TfL and ask for it.
This is a Red Route, so allows camera enforcement of parking,
rather than a CEO serving a PCN to the vehicle. At least that is
my understanding. For me, however, it is a purely money-grubbing
PCN that serves no traffic management purpose whatsoever.

OP, pl get your skates on. 2 weeks have been lost so far and if
you do not make representations 'in time' they may be
disregarded.
But what exactly is in time for reps or payment is unclear on
the face of this PCN*. Procedural improprieties seem to abound,
but we can get to these once you've requested the DVD and
enforcement is put on hold.
*- if the PCN consists of 4 pages, then where do the
red-bannered items come from on what appears to be page 5. These
totally contradict what's in the body of the PCN.
For example:
You have 21 days from the date this PCN was served to pay the
discount. No you don't, you have 21 days beginning on the date
of service as stated on page 1.
If you pay after 21 days but before the end of 28 days beginning
with the date of service you must pay £160. No, you may pay £160
at any time after the discount has lapsed and before a Charge
Cert is served.
While on page 4 we have this howler:
Your representation may be disregarded if it is received more
than 28 days after service of this notice. No, reps may be
disregarded if not made within the 28-day period which begins ON
the date of service, not AFTER.

Get the DVD as posted earlier. A 'reply' is not your next step.

Get the process frozen first to get a breathing space. Looks
like the PCN is riddled with errors so a good candidate for a
London Tribunals adjudication
