Seems clear enough...

>Was person B, in fact the landowner or agent of the landowner?

"Garry had stopped in a lay-by after seeing a picture opportunity at
Glyn Neath Lakes - a watersports centre adjacent to the A465 in South
Wales."

He said he had been taking photos from a public area for 'ten minutes'
when a man claiming to be the lake's landowner approached.

Person B was the landowner of the lakes, not the lay-by.

There are few notices restricting photography in or from a public
place, and no mention of them here.

Even the police couldn't find anything wrong with the act of
photography; the bludgeon used to stop it was the 'inflammatory act'
of a so-called Public Order offence. I wished to draw to the attention
of Radio Amateurs, who - let's face it - are a strange-looking bunch
doing even stranger things in public, just ripe for a POA offence.
