I think your next step should be to wait for the NtO.
------
Having re-read their letter rejecting your challenge, I find the
letter self-contradictory:
1) It asks for further evidence (that suggests they are on the
road towards acceptance)
2) they state they do find the evidence you have provided
substantiates your claim (that suggests the evidence is good
enough)
then
3) they refuse to cancel.....
----
Use the time whilst waiting to make a a draft formal rep against
the NtO, uising the points HCA has made.

I am now watching your thread and am about to start blogging
about what cheats Newham are. Will be happy to take over as your
representative once the Notice to Owner arrives. Email
mrmustard@zoho.com once it does

Hi mrmustard, thank you for your offer of help and for watching
my thread. I appreciate your willingness to assist pro bono and
your impressive success rate. I'd like to take this opportunity
to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread, including
John U.K. and H C Andersen and stamfordman, for their advice and
support. I'm sorry for the delay in responding - yesterday was a
challenging day as I was in the hospital with my father. I'll
definitely keep your offer in mind and email you once I receive
the Notice to Owner. Thank you again for your support.

Hi Quick update for everyone — including [member=428]H C
Andersen[/member], [member=5]John U.K.[/member], and
[member=7]mrmustard[/member] who have been involved earlier in
my case -
I’ve now received the Notice to Owner, which arrived today (10
June) but is dated 4 June, so I’ve already lost 6 days of the
28-day response window.
Here is the document attached
Would appreciate advice on next steps. Should I now proceed with
formal representations using the “contravention did not occur
due to circumstances beyond my control” angle, as previously
discussed (hospitalisation, caring duties, inability to return
home), or do I need to reframe anything further at this stage?
Thanks again

IMO,
As far as I can see in the circumstances of your case the
grounds would be:
'The penalty charge exceeded the amount applicable in the
circumstances of the case';
The circumstances being as follows:
You were aware of the Temporary Traffic Order requirements and
had planned to move your car on Sunday evening to an adjoining
road reserved for permit holders.(the restriction came into
effect on Monday 14th)
Matters did not go to plan, however.
At *** on Sunday my father had an episode of rectal bleeding. I
am his carer and contacted the hospital who advised us to bring
him in immediately for examination. Unfortunately, my car would
not start and therefore I had to call upon my neighbour **** to
take us. We arrived at the hospital at approx. ***. My neighbour
returned home(could you have called them later to pick you up?).
My father, who is 77, was admitted and was in severe discomfort.
As he also suffers from a neurological condition similar to
dementia and is not able to manage interactions in a hospital
environment. I therefore felt it was essential that I remain
with him. At this time no-one knew for how long he would be kept
in but in the event he was not released until *** on ***.
My circumstances were therefore:
Had my car started, then it would have been parked at the
hospital and not on the road and the contravention would not
have occurred. But it didn't start.
Had my father not been taken ill, not been admitted and only
discharged at ** on ** then we would have returned home on
Sunday and I would have called assistance to get it started in
order to move from the location in order to avoid being in
contravention on the Monday (which I did once we arrived home -
see attached). But he was taken ill and admitted.
I respectfully submit that the above support my representation
grounds and that the PCN should be cancelled.
Only write what's true and provide supporting evidence as per
your initial reps.

I would use everything that HCA has said and add two further
points
2 Regulation 3 of the Appeals Regulations 2022 includes that a
Notice to Owner must offer the chance to make representations
by, if appropriate, email / fax / online 'as well as a postal
address'. That is not on the Notice so is a procedural
impropriety.
3 The correct contravention is for being parked in a suspended
bay not on a single or double yellow and even that should have
been code 02 to include a loading ban.
Best the OP lets me or HCA write and submit this.
