School Zone PCN - Do I stand a chance if i appeal?

Hello everyone,
I got a PCN from ealing council - School zone. It is a newly
designated one which I was not aware of.
I wanted to turn left into my sister's street not realising it
is now part of the zone.
I am disabled and have a blue badge. I have problems with my
bowel which means I need use the bathroom frequently, specially
when I take some medications which makes me use the loo every
hour. I was in the area near my sister's house and I was rushing
to get to her house to use the toilet. Her road is at the end of
a cul-de-sac which can only be accessed from the entrance I
used. Would I stand a chance with making a representation for
Special Consideration?
This is where it happened:

The signs had recently been put up so it is not shown on google
streetview (see screenshot instead).
I turned left into Gloucester Road (my sisters house - see
orange arrow).
I have also attached the PCN from Ealing.
I have a blue badge and I have medical reports from my GP
regarding my medical problems, medications and bowel issues.
Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated.

You passed the usual "Flying motorbike" signs; they are visible
in your photo, and seem pretty clear on the approach to them. So
I don't think any representations based on inadequate signing
are a runner. Having said that, photos of the signs taken as an
approaching motorist sees t hem would be useful.
On the face of it, and reading your narrative, you would seem to
have only the mitigating grounds you have described. However,
that's not the end of the story, because this restriction is
based on a traffic regulation order, which may contain something
that permits emergency entry at the restricted times. Our
adminstrator can probably obtain the TRO to see whether there is
any get-out like this in it. However, there is a limited time
period in which to submit representations, so it would be best
for you to submit representations based on your urgent needs as
per your narrative. Council parking department officials do seem
to have hearts of stone, however, and have "heard it all
before", so you would need to back up your reps with whatever
medical evidence you may have,and include copies in with your
reps.

If the road can 'ONLY' be entranced from the one you used, how
do the residents get in?

Outside the school time restriction, OR maybe they have to
register their cars. So need to see the TRO.

Thanks very much for your replies.
I do have medical reports from my GP. So I think i will give it
a go and see.
Are there any templates I should be using to perhaps let the
council know I have sought advice from experts on this forum?
Thanks in advance.

residents have to register their cars so they are exempt:
