    I have just discovered that a 'retrospective' application has been made for advertising consent, this has been asked for by........the planning enforcement officer at the council, the advertising period to run from 23/02/2017 until 23/02/2022.
    Timothea's post above says as it is illegal retrospective permission cannot be given, I intend to point this out to the Planning Department, I also will ask why they have told Asda to apply for retrospective permission given it is illegal. Obviously I want to get this right, is there anything else I should mention?
    The application is dated 23/02/2017.
    Nothing to do with the application but something worth mentioning is, the application states the signs are not illuminated, the store is open 24/7, so can PE say a contract has been agreed if the 'parking offence' is during the hours of darkness.
    Thanks

    They can try. But a defendant/appellant can show otherwise, with photos in the dark.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Surely that depends on how well the car park is lit and the location of the signs. If the signs are attached to or adjacent to the huge lighting towers they have in my local ASDA, then despite the signs themselves being unlit they'd be perfectly readable.

    If we knew I think it would have been recorded here. Perhaps you could phone Asda at Fleetwood, they’d be in the best position to update you. Please come back to this thread with the results, then it can be finally concluded.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    The other thing is that these signs also act as the fair processing notice under DPA

    No fair processing notice no getting details from DVLA OR if getting details from DVLA without FPN is a bit naughty.
    Private Parking Tickets - Make sure you put your Subject Access Request in after 25th May 2018 - It's free & ask for everything, don't forget the DVLA :D

    The problem with this is that the Registered keeper may not be driving!
