looks like a yellow line across the DK.
The BB does not offer an exemption for the contravention of
parking adjacent to a DK
Regulation 86 of the TMA governs this contravention and at
86(8)(b) the following exemption exists
(b)the vehicle is stopped, for no longer than is necessary, for
the purpose of allowing people to board or alight from it.
Boarding alighting a vulnerable person who requires assistance
to keep them safe is allowed and that is the line i would take
in moving forward

We haven't seen the OP's challenge, but we can infer certain
matters from the council's reply:
1. The OP claimed that they had permission to park at the
location, presumably from the occupier of the premises served by
the DK.
OP, if so then all you need to do is produce this to the council
and you won't need assistance because the PCN will be cancelled.
You might want to post here first. There will not be any need to
rely on another exception such as assisted alighting.
2. On which point, the response says that the council were
alerted by information from a resident and on this basis they
despatched a CEO. This would appear to directly challenge the
claim that the occupier had given permission. It must surely
also mean that the car must have been parked for some time i.e.
the occupier notices, phones the council who determine that a
CEO should be sent etc. surely this must have taken at least 15
minutes!
OP, can you elaborate pl.

Your Notes: I was parked out using a blue badge I asked the same
officer before leaving car there and he advised me wrongly to
display my disability card and it should be fine - I wonder if
he has deliberately done this to then later give me a ticket?
It’s outside a friends driveway I am visiting and I have no
choice but to put car outside their home with disability car I
wasn’t blocking any carriage way see pic it’s my friends cars
parked inside her own driveway and I had no issues from anybody.
It was the advice I was given by warden officer If you check the
pic you can see it’s outside resident home, and also my badge
was displayed as advised Officer has not observed my vehicle for
any length of time be has issued this fine when he gave advice
to keeep it there quite corrupt and wrong of him just for
issuing me a ticket and I’m vulnerable disabled person with
disabled children. I will not be proceeding with this at all if
you wish to take this up in court then that’s where it will end
up. It’s not right for officer to advice such Way to only what
appears to trick me. I even told him I’m visiting the resident
in Parked outside. Can’t walk far so this is the closest I need.
I hope you can appreciate the situation and as a good will
gesture remove this fine ticket immediately to avoid further
litigation issues and complaints against procedures not being
followed and officers acting unlawfully towards civilians Many
thanks for your time and understanding with this

The council have asked for evidence of the occupier's
permission, are you able to provide this?
GSV would suggest that the dropped footway is for the purpose of
giving access to an adjoining residential property and that the
drive is not shared therefore your defence is obvious if you can
provide this to the council:
(3)The second exception is where the vehicle is parked outside
residential premises by or with the consent (but not consent
given for reward) of the occupier of the premises.
This exception does not apply in the case of a shared driveway.
