52. Who would grant you permission to enter?
53. This means do not enter an empty house. unless the owner of the house gives you the permission to enter it.
 54. You should neither take offense nor insist on obtaining permission.The author of Tafseer Roohuf Bayaan has stated that the reason for the revelation of these verses is that once a lady came to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and said sometimes I am in such a state in my house that I dislike seeing anyone. Some enter my house under such conditions. On that occasion, this verse was revealed.

The tafsir of Surah An-Nur verse 28 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nur ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 27 through 29.
26. Entry into an empty house is not allowed unless permitted as such by the master of the house. One may, for instance, have told a visitor or sent him a message to wait in his room till his arrival. The mere fact that there is nobody in the house, or the call is not answered does not entitle anybody to enter without permission.
27. That is nobody should mind if entry is refused, for everybody has a right to refuse to meet another person, or offer a plea if otherwise busy. The command “Go backâ€, according to the jurists, means going back in the literal sense and moving away from the door. Nobody has any right to compel the other person for a meeting or to embarrass him by standing obstinately at his door.
