I have been in touch with the landowner, they confirm an agreement is in place and they also said

It is a condition of our planning approval for use of the area as a car park that we must have a monitoring process and a system of penalty fees in place
I can confirm that if a motorist receives a parking ticket which they ignore and refuse to pay, Armtrac can ultimately pass the case to a debt recovery service and/or issue a County Court Order. However, this is only ever done as a last resort and Armtrac always issue a number of reminder letters before initiating this procedure. There is also an appeal process which motorists can pursue if they dispute the issuing of the ticket.

Planning approval would never put these conditions in, they are there to say whether the land can be used as a car park, not how.

Not strictly true. The car park at my local Aldi had a planning condition that parking should be managed and that the method of management had to be agreed with the council before it could be used.

You would be better to start your own thread, rather than hijacking others.
