There is actually an official grace period of ten minutes, but that applies only to a "designated parking space", which OP wasn't in. It's mentioned in https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-enforcement-of-parking-contraventions/guidance-for-local-authorities-on-enforcing-parking-restrictions, ie: Grace periods Parking policy should be designed to enable people to access the community and carry on their business as easily as possible. Whilst it is important to undertake enforcement, to prevent abuse of parking facilities to the detriment of the majority, enforcement should be sensitive, fair and proportionate. This would not be the case if a driver received a PCN for returning to their vehicle only moments after the expiry of a period of permitted parking. Therefore, the law requires that a penalty charge must [footnote 20] not be issued to a vehicle which has stayed parked in a parking place on a road or in a local authority’s car park beyond the permitted parking period for a period not exceeding 10 minutes. The grace period applies to on-street and off-street parking places provided under traffic orders, whether the period of parking is paid for or free. Any penalty charge during the 10-minute grace period would be illegal unless the vehicle itself is parked unlawfully (for example, where the motorist has not paid any required parking fee or displayed a parking ticket where required). It is important that all CEOs understand that grace periods only apply to designated parking places where a person is permitted to park. A road with a restriction (for example, single yellow line) or prohibition (such as a double yellow line) is not a ‘designated’ parking place either during - or outside of - the period of the restriction or prohibition. Footnote 20 points to S.I. 2022/71, Regulation 5 -
Crikey, you haven't posted for years! What has prompted you to grace the forum with your presence with such an intriguing partial statement? -
Yes, sounds like it, if they are normally open on a Tuesday evening? Thanks!

I think you were very lucky to get it cancelled, TBH. So far as I know, there is not some kind of unofficial period of grace after the publicised time.
