So they only have evidence of the vehicle being stopped for 14
seconds.

It would seem.
Is there a point in appealing at this stage or wait for next
correspondence from them?

They have until 18th November to appeal. What was the reason the
driver decided to park at that spot?
Any appeal for this PCN is going to be rejected by both UKPC and
POPLA. No one pays these though.
After a flurry of debt collector letters which we don't need to
know about and can be safely ignored, a Letter of Claim (LoC)
will be sent. Come back when that happens and we will provide
the necessary response. Eventually a claim will be issued and we
will provide the defence.
It is with over 99% certainty that this would eventually be
discontinued early next year.

Thanks.
Driver parked there due to a large part of the car park coned
off and very limited parking available at the time.

It really doesn't matter. No appeal will be accepted. Only a
county court claim that is defended will result in this
eventually being discontinued. Their modus operandi is to
escalate with threats of litigation in the hope that the
defendant is low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree and will
cave in once the (imagined) pressure increases.
By the time it comes to them having to pay the trial fee, if the
defendant hasn't caved, they will discontinue and move on in
search of even lower hanging fruit.

UPDATE: Letter of Claim received from DCB Legal. Do you need me
to post it here? If not, please advise what my next action
should be?
Thank you

You are waiting for this to eventually turn into a claim - when
it does, you will receive a Claim Form from the Civil National
Business Centre, which you should share here.
In the meantime, here's an example of how you can respond to the
Letter of Claim, courtesy of b789. Amend any case specific
details such as dates as necessary.

> I refer to your Letter of Claim.
>
> I confirm that my address for service at this time is as
follows, and I request that any outdated address be erased from
your records to ensure compliance with data protection
obligations:
>
> [YOUR ADDRESS]
>
> Please note that the alleged debt is disputed, and any court
proceedings will be robustly defended.
>
> I note that the sum claimed has been increased by an excessive
and unjustifiable amount, which appears contrary to the
principles established by the Government, who described such
practices as “extorting money from motorists.” Please refrain
from sending boilerplate responses or justifications regarding
this issue.
>
> Under the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims, I require
specific answers to the following questions:
>
> [indent]1. Does the additional £70 represent what you describe
as a “Debt Recovery” fee? If so, is this figure net of or
inclusive of VAT? If inclusive, I trust you will explain why I,
as the alleged debtor, am being asked to cover your client’s VAT
liability.
>
> 2. Regarding the principal sum of the alleged Parking Charge
Notice (PCN): Is this being claimed as damages for breach of
contract, or will it be pleaded as consideration for a purported
parking contract?[/indent]
>
> I would caution you against simply dismissing these questions
with vague or boilerplate responses, as I am fully aware of the
implications. By claiming that PCNs are exempt from VAT while
simultaneously inflating the debt recovery element, your client
– with your assistance – appears to be evading VAT obligations
due to HMRC. Such mendacious conduct raises serious questions
about the legality and ethics of your practices.
>
> I strongly advise your client to cease and desist. Should this
matter proceed to court, you can be assured that these issues
will be brought to the court’s attention, alongside a robust
defence and potentially a counterclaim for unreasonable conduct.
