Met parking charge for parking in disabled bay.

Just recieved this.
Bit of history.
I had knee surgery at the end of May with a long recovery.
Unfortunately despite being far more immobile than a lot of
those that are eligible for a blue badge I am not able to get
one as they arent given for transient or temporary disabiliy.
I generally use the disabled bays in shops and non council
areas all the time as I have been given express permission by
many of them who can clearly see I cannot walk far and need to
room to fully open the door.
I sought permission from the Mc donalds in question if I could
use it briefly and was told it was fine.
However I have received a Parking charge notice today for
contravening the blue badge notice.
My first POC will be to phone McDonalds to get it cancelled, by
Im not sure this will work.
I am sort of familiar with the protocol these days but not
entirely.
should I appeal? The appeal on their site requires me to name
the driver and details etc but I understand this is not good
practice?
I have plenty if letters showing my condition and operation
etc.
I have attached a picture of the PCN.
Thanks.

Edit- Just spoke to the Mcdonalds and they have agreed to
cancel it, never mind, that was a quick outcome ;D Please
delete as you wish.
Thanks.

Unless you have it in writing, I suspect we will see you back
once it is too late to appeal and you have started receiving
useless debt recovery letters.
Plan A is always the easiest but you need to het it in writing.
A phone call is not worth the paper it is not written on.

Ive been CC'd into the email they sent to cancellations. That
should be enough right? Surely anything that escalated in the
future would be moot if the owner of the land has cleared it by
email?

I know that in South Wales you can get a temporary blue badge as
long as the criteria is met. I assume that where the OP resides
that may not be the case.

I have checked and they're not. By the time I would have
received it I would probably be fit enough again anyway. Its a
huge oversight on the NHS. For about 2 months I was far more
unable to move than a lot of people with blue badges, you would
think there was a temporary scheme to fill that gap.
