    What steps do you need that aren't already in the sticky thread?
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    As this car park had suspended charges during covid, then reinstated charges, no clear signage was displayed to notify reintroduction of charges.
    Is this something I should put in the letter?

    It is worth a shot.  It depends how the suspended charges was signposted; if the PPC just put up a notice covering their signs or stuck a sticky on the PDT, then POPLA assessor might take the view that with the signage being removed it was adequate notice of charges being re-introduced.

    Also, how do I find out who is the landowner?

    Thanks

    As I remember they just sellotaped the coin slot over.
    Thanks for your help.

    This advice is usually posted by @Umkomaas: -
    1. Google searches
    2. If a retail park, check on any signage which lists the on-site outlets
    3. Ask retailers on the site if there is a managing agent
    4. Ask retailers on the site to whom do they pay rent
    5. Contact the local authority and ask who pays the non-domestic/business rate for the car park
    6. Contact the local Valuation Office and ask if they know. They often have a website which might provide the information 
    7. Contact The Land Registry and for £3 they will provide definitive detail
