You are entitled, under the RTA I believe (or perhaps under the
aprking regulations for the particular city) to make a claim for costs
only if the issue of the ticket or the councils refusal to allow your
appeal (I cannot remember which) is "frivilous, vexatious or wholly
unreasonable." Whether their behaviour is regarded in this category
is the decision of the parking adjudicator, who you will appear before
if the council refuse your appeal.

ISTM that putting a ticket on a car with an issue time outside that
for which restrictions apply is wholly unreasonable by a very very
very long way

Unless the charges apply during a certain time and outside of that time no
parking is permitted at all. Unlikely, but possible.

I would say that "no parking is permitted at all" is quite a severe
restriction!

Indeed - though it does exist. There are (or were) some spaces near
Milton Keynes central shopping centre where parking is not permitted
at all by anyone between something like 7:30am-9:30am to stop
employees parking there and thus to keep some spaces near the centre
available for shoppers.

Yes, and also very common in streets near commuter railway stations. I
first saw it in Shenfield (Essex) about 20 years ago.

And there's another situation, which applies to car parks: Some P&R
close at night, and ban overnight parking. The ones in Cambridge are
either doing this already, or will soon.
