hi everyone i received this pcn in the post today, from what i can see they do not have any photographic evidence and also my car is grey not black, they do however have my license plate.
they do not even have my car make it just says other.
please take note of the part in bold.

what are my options please

edit: also this was outside my business address so maybe i could say i was unloading my car ?

I can't see how you can get them form the council website, I think you'll have to email them and ask. Can you give us the circumstances of the contravention? Had you been loading / shopping / something else?

you could say that, but your phrasing suggests it is not the case. None of the regular posters here will advise that you tell porkies. The fine for which is £5k get the photos

ok i have emailed them asking for photo's.

so if the date of notice is the 30/07/2018 i get 14 days after that to pay the discounted charge ?

The service is deemed served on 1 August so you can pay the discounted charge up to midnight on 14 August.

Photos are not a legal requirement, but most councils get their CEOs to take them. Car make and colour are also not a legal requirement on a PCN either.
Are you sure you have told us everything ? Most drive-away PCNs we see are issued because drivers know they have possibly parked in contravention, see the CEO, and hurriedly drive away thinking they have got away with it. Unfortunately the Traffic Management Act 2004 put the kibosh on this little escape routine by allowing councils to issue the PCN by post. The PCN is for parking on a restricted street, so either single or double yellow lines is the most likely. Unless there is a loading restriction, there are two exemptions to the yellow lines, (1) boarding or alighting passengers, and (2) loading/unloading. If you are claiming either exemption, it is you that have to prove the activity, not them. As advised by PMB, telling untruths in reps is a criminal matter. even though PCN enforcement is civil.

The 14 day period is from the date of service of the PCN, as the PCN states on the first page. This is assumed to be 2 days after the date of posting which the PCN also says is the date of posting. However you've got yours a day quicker but the 2 days is still applied to the period.

well have appealed on the 8th of august not heard anything back yet.

What grounds have you appealed on? It would have been good to post them up here first, so the experts can make suggestions.

have stated the make of car says other, it says my car is black which it is not and that i request photographic evidence.

Make, model and colour not required on PCN.

Did you drive away before PCN was served on your car?

Photo's are not mandatory either.
We'll just have to wait for the Council's response - hopefully they'll screw up somewhere!

still no reply from the council since i appealed on the 8th august.
is there a time frame ?

They have 56 days to respond to formal reps made to a postal parking PCN, as stated on page 2 of your PCN.

still no reply from the council, do they usually take this long ?

See post no. 15. They have 56 days to reply.

If you made reps online, then they have until 2 October to serve their reply.

If by post, then 4th.

No argument lies with you whether they wait this long or not, it’s their choice.

In anticipation of a rejection I suggest we use the intervening period to find out the facts of the case now that we’ve dispensed with model and colour.

Over to you.

And?
