POFA does not mention "landholders" it is in fact the DfT Guidance document that conjured up this neologism defined as It has no validity in law. There are people who have rights over land such as tenants and leaseholders so e.g. they can sue for trespass but a landlord's agent cannot.

Yes, that's right. However, the point is that it is not just the owner of the land that can pursue charges resulting from a contract. The aim is to show there is no contract, of course.

This next bit does come from the POFA.

“relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract
arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant
land) between the driver and a person who is:
(a) the owner or occupier of the land; or
(b) authorised, under or by virtue of arrangements
made by the owner or occupier of the land, to
enter into a contract with the driver requiring
the payment of parking charges in respect of the
parking of the vehicle on the land;
