Thank you both very much!
No joy tracing landowner via Google so request to Land Registry would have to be way forward.
Could also phone restaurant for info but car park is separate from their own small car park so unlikely it’s there’s.
Whilst the parking charge has arisen as the expected time in the restaurant was exceeded because of their delays, I’d be very uncomfortable trying to land them with this (unfair) charge (if they aren’t the landowners), as restaurants have has such a very hard time over the last 18 months with Covid 😕
Whatever I do to resolve this, I will be writing to the local council & MP about the damage these ‘car park’ sharks are doing to the Local tourist industry (having read all the other posts about Fistral Beach, etc).
Thanks again for your advice!
👍🏻

So as I said , it's the landowner who has the ultimate power here , it ALWAYS is !

Umkomaas regularly posts his advice on finding out landowner details , please read that advice ( which includes the land registry ) , if you don't ask , you don't get !

As for the MP complaint , parliamentary rules state that you must go through your own local MP , they can copy in the DLUHC ( previously the Mhclg )and the MP for the car park constituency

Then either listen to the wiser regulars here that have been advising people for 5 to 10 years or more , or not , but the choice always remains with the members who ask for advice ( which is often good but sometimes can be bad , depending on who gave it )

He has and Redx has too.

Only take advice from very regular posters on this forum; beware of newbies telling you to pay and that the parking charge 'will stick' unless there is a technicality.

The truth is, it won't and we win.  We know what we are doing here.

The restaurant may have had some leverage against the landowner or even may have been the landowner, but now you confirm you didn't use the restaurants car park. You used a carpark away from the restaurant, what were the terms of use of that car park. 
Were patrons of other business permitted to use your carpark. 

Was even your permitted time of use of said carpark within it's terms and conditions 

These parking charges are not always without justification, they are often there to prevent abuse by clients of a competing business.

If you cannot pursue this leverage the PCN will stick unless a technicality is established and you will be asked to pay the rate as per the terms and conditions.

Can't agree with the above.  Pretty much all private PCNs we see here are without justification. We all know that self regulation has failed, allowing ex clampers to make the rules up as they go along.

Telling posters to pay parking firms and making newbies feel spooked (which I am afraid is how you are coming across, again and again) is not what this board is about.

I’ve spent A LOT of time reading posts & was hoping you, Umkomaas or Coupon_mad would respond!
Having said that as a Newbie, I’m very grateful for all the input received. It’s been much appreciated 👍🏻
