PCM (UK) Ltd - Permit Parking - Greenwich

The registered keeper has received the attached PCN (this has
been redacted solely to remove personal details) plus the
supporting evidence. I have also provided a copy of the nearby
sign and a copy of the page on the online portal.

The driver was stopped for fewer than 10 minutes loading and
unloading the vehicle to a nearby apartment.
The registered keeper has now received a PCN for parking; you'll
see from the attached photos that the observation period is
fewer than 8 minutes. The driver returned to the vehicle while
the operative was taking photos. The operative explicitly stated
that no PCN had been issued, yet this postal notice arrived
shortly after.
At present no response has been made by the registered keeper to
this PCN. I note that Annex B of the Code for IPC (see page 35
here:
HTML https://irp.cdn-website.com/262226a6/files/uploaded/sector_single_Code_of_Practice_Version_1.1_130225.pdf)<br
/>provides a consideration period of 5 minutes, but there's no
mention of loading and unloading and no loading/unloading area
is provided.
I am also wondering whether Jopson v Homeguard might be helpful
here.
A google street view link to the location is here:

Please can you let me have your thoughts as to the best course
of action as to next steps; in particular, I'd welcome your
thoughts on whether to lead with no contract formed due to the
short duration, or loading for this residential site. I am happy
to provide further information.
