Your post is a little confusing, did you have a permit to park there?

yeah i had a permit for the street and they have bays to park but i was on the other side of the road on the single yellow line as there was no where to park!

Right, forget the permit - it is irrelevant. It allows you to park in certain marked n bays but you admit that you were parked on a signe yellow line rather than one of those bays. That there was no free bay is also irrelevant.

If this is issued by Medway Council, I presume that it states that it is issued under the Road Traffic Act 1991 = it is a Penalty Charge Notice.

In this case, the referred thread is valid as there are some hurdles that the Council must clear in order for the ticket to be enforceable. It is also worth revisiting the site and checking that the lines fully comply with the regulations.

I agree with Pat, you are focusing on an issue that bears no relevance. Read through the link i posted it may help you.
