I think watching the Mocas V's Robert Saunders show on parking violations is going to be "interesting"...

Mr Saunders, as I understand it, the Traffic Management Act 2004 (TMA) devolved responsibility for enforcement to local authorities, but it still refers back to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (RTRA) in terms of defining contraventions.
Yawn.
I appreciate that this is becoming a pedantic exercise, but you fired the first shot by stating that this was a contravention rather than an offence. (Let's leave the "alleged" part to one side for a moment, as the OP has already admitted to it.)
Quoting from the PCN the alleged contravention / offence the OP is charged with is "stopped in a restricted area outside a school" located in "Station Approach, Dorridge."
Could you please show me where in this thread he's admitted doing that?
Well, of course the PCN is alleged - it's based on the evidence of the enforcement officer. That's a red herring here, though, because we're talking about what the 'transgressor' has said himself, not the PCN.
There's no point getting uppity about this being your profession. All I'm asking you to do is to tell me which legislation states that a contravention of a Traffic Regualtion Order is not an offence, please.

Next you'll be telling me that if a tree falls down in a forest with no-one there to witness it, it never really fell in the first place.
neilrr, you do seem to love going round in circles. In fact, I'm surprised you ever get anyhwere at all.
We've already decided that the PCN is invalid due to the error made in issuing it. However, that doesn't mean that the offence, contravention, call it what you will never occurred; just that the PCN cannot be enforced (though I still think the council should just be allowed to correct tickets if they make a mistake).

I'd hate to find you on any jury!
