An hour spent studying The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 may have paid dividends. Diagram 1028.4 prescribes markings for used for spaces providing limited waiting by permit holders or particular classes of vehicle.
The Traffic Signs Manual tsrgd.co.uk/pdf/tsm/tsm-chapter-05.pdf explains at pp120 (123/163 in whole document) how it is to be used. A descriptive legend (Doctor in example but it also applies to other classes of user) can be provided but equally may be omitted.
If Camden had omitted it consistently I'd not have leg but where, as was case here, it's used on some permit bays but not others I may have a chance of success. Or at least I think an Adjudicator might be sympathetic....
If I was advising a punter at work I'd make very sure they understood that the chance of success was perhaps less than 50%. As it's my own money I'll take a punt.
Still got a couple of weeks to get my argument properly together.
