    Is the parking just for Matalan or is this part of a larger retail park? The signs were labelled Matalan which was just about all I could see from your tiny pics. It seems a bit bizarre that a large retail shed should want to deter customers by charging them for the privilege of parking in their car park. A supermarket may get away with it as almost every customer is going to buy something but I am sure that Matalan have plenty of people browsing rather than buying.

    The signs looked new. I wonder if they are paying the correct business rates now that they are running a car park business? Free parking may well have been a condition of planning permission.

    You really don't have anything to worry about with 'not so smart'.
    They have enough problems of their own to ensure they won't drag you up before the Judge.

    Yes, clearly just wait. You are not advised to appeal yet anyway as per our advice & info already given.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
