On the ibb page with the image, scroll down past the image to

Beneath that you will find several links. Under 'Full Image

Would love to get your thoughts on the council's response to the
formal representation that you had put together.

I think this is the point now where I need to start putting
together my appeal.
I've heard of cases where the council don't even turn up, or
present anything. What are the chances of that happening out of
curiosity? I know some are worse for it than others.

Would you please post the missing pages of the NOR, you've only
posted 2 but there are crucial procedural issues to be checked
which cannot be done without seeing all pages.
IMO, excluding any procedural points which might arise your
appeal should be as per your formal reps save that you would
draw the adjudicator's attention to the NOR as regards this
statement from the council which would seem to encapsulate their
completely erroneous approach to off-street parking enforcement
on housing estates and why the mandatory off-road signage is not
in place, apparently because this is a council policy:
'As a resident with a [housing estate] permit, you still have to
obey the parking rules..
The parking rules that apply to the road also apply to the
off-road area'

Thanks.
IMO, the NOR is the council's letter, not the attachments. It
therefore follows that this mandatory provision in the Appeals
Regs has been omitted from the NOR:
(6) If the enforcement authority does not accept the
representations, its decision notice—
(a)must—
(i)state that a charge certificate may be served on the
recipient unless within the period of 28 days beginning with the
date of service of the decision notice—
(aa)the penalty charge is paid, or
(bb)the recipient appeals to an adjudicator against the penalty
charge,
(ii)indicate the nature of an adjudicator’s power to award
costs, and
(iii)describe the form and manner in which an appeal to an
adjudicator must be made
Appeal to an adjudicator against a decision to reject a
recipient’s representations
7.—(1) A recipient may appeal to an adjudicator against an
enforcement authority’s decision not to accept their
representations.
(2) An appeal under this regulation must be made within—
(a)the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of
the decision notice under regulation 6(4)(b) which states that
the enforcement authority does not accept the recipient’s
representations, or
(b)such longer period as the adjudicator may allow.
The only reference to making an appeal is to the 28-day period
and not 'such longer period...etc.'.
This is a secondary ground of appeal IMO (it comes under the
heading of Procedural Impropriety) because your substantive case
is strong.

If I could get a bit of guidance on how to put together the
argument.
I am assuming I will start with the facts from when I parked my
vehicle, to receiving the PCN, to informally challenging it,
receiving the rejection, then formally challenging it, and
receiving the rejection, so on so forth.
Please let me know if this is a standard format to follow?

Also, is there any of way of knowing/seeing any evidence the
council has or has not submitted?

You must get a timely evidence pack from Southwark:
The Chief Adjudicator has directed that authorities must serve
their evidence no later
than five days before the first scheduled date of hearing of the
appeal.
