Just to say you haven't redacted your full name and address from
the PCN in your OP and you have also left your surname (" Dear
Mr -----" in the NOR above

I don't think your case is all that strong, but whilst they
include your statement that parking is obviously allowed, they
totally ignore it. So you do have a chance to win at London
Tribunals on the basis of complete failure to consider, but must
risk the full PCN penalty. If you win, you pay nothing, of
course.

IMO, you have arguments under the grounds of 'procedural
impropriety'.
As defined, this states that failure by the authority to comply
with legislative requirements is a procedural impropriety.
The relevant regs are here:
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2022/9780348231564
You have received a decision notice rejecting your reps,
therefore regn. 6(6) applies to the authority.
Within the notice they have repeatedly misstated the mandatory
requirements which they have then consolidated in the para.
immediately preceding the heading HOW TO PAY.
The elapsed period before they may serve a CC is 28 days
beginning on the date of service, not within 28 days of service
as they state. The reason this is important is that, unless
stated to the contrary, 'within' excludes the trigger date
therefore, for example, the end of the period for registering
an appeal in respect of a decision notice served today, 30 July,
would be 26 August in law. Their ham-fisted alternative would be
27 August on which date the adjudicator could REFUSE to register
an appeal.
Furthermore, the notice misstates your rights of appeal which
are:
A statutory right to have a valid appeal heard;
At the adjudicator's discretion, to have a late submission heard
as an appeal.
The practical effect of TfL's misstatement of time periods is
therefore that you would lose your statutory right to have an
appeal heard if this was made on the 28th day after service.
What's 1 day?
About the same as how far your wheel was in contravention.
If TfL want to nit-pick, then IMO so should you!
I would hope the above would be peer reviewed by others.
