Parking Advice

Hi!
Please note, I have not received a parking ticket, I was hoping
for some advice before I keep parking in a location and receive
100's of tickets.

On the left (looking down towards Lidl) there is no double
yellow lines. Daily this is filled with people parking (for the
day) as the hospital is next door. People also park down the
right hand side, against the hedge.
Over the past week, I have been leaving my car here for about 3
- 4 hours (The car park is free but has a 2 hour limit). I must
state that usually there is only one or two spaces available, as
everyone seems to park here now.
The car park is controlled by ANPR, am I legally allowed to park
where I mentioned or am I still under the restrictions of the
car park? It is not clear whether the road at the bottom is
private, or publicly owned.
Image below has been highlighted red as to where I am parking,
along with everyone else.

It's a private road, so no law prevents you parking there, nor
anywhere else onsite even though you may be liable for a civil
contractual charge if you do so. IT's very different from
either criminal or decriminalised (civil) PCNs from statutory
bodies.
However there appear to be no contractual signs at all on that
road, no contract and there can be no contractual charge. That
won't necessarily prevent them 'trying it on' though.

Check the date of the GCV photo. Things could have changed since
the photo was taken.
If it is private land then you should seek out any signs that
contain the terms and conditions for parking on the private
land. Which PPC operates there? You would need to check the CoP
of the relevant ATA that the PPC belongs to.
You state that the car park is free but you also know that it
has a 2-hour limit. If you know that then you must know which
PPC.
Anyone parking on private land should have the common sense to
check for terms and conditions. Whilst the dearth of signage is
a useful appeal and defence point should it come to that, it is
always best to avoid getting to that stage in the first place.
