Great House Farm — Primary Record Register
Title, possession and court records
| Record group | Reference / date | Verification question | Record status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Historic conveyance | Bute Estate / Daniel Thomas & Son, 1877 | What land and rights did the original instrument convey, reserve or exclude? | Original instrument not located in the Glamorgan Archives search to date. D696 Bute material is a research lead, not a substitute for the deed. |
| Possession order | High Court, 1955 | What parcels, buildings, gardens and occupants did the sealed order cover? What plan formed part of it? | Verify against the sealed order, schedules, plan, warrant and execution records. Family interpretation remains separate from the order itself. |
| Reported litigation | BP Properties Ltd v Buckler, trial 24 July 1986; appeal [1987] EWCA Civ 2 | Which matters were decided, and which issues were outside the determination? | Compare the judgment, pleadings, transcript, orders and appeal papers. Do not infer that every underlying title question was adjudicated. |
| Land registration | WA231076; WA240304; registration/amalgamation recorded 2 February 1987 | What applications, filed instruments, notices and plans explain each entry and the later amalgamation? | Compare certified register copies, title plans, application files and underlying instruments for each title number. |
| Woodland registration | WA735527 | What is the registered extent, provenance and relationship to the other parcels? | Check the current register, title plan, filed documents and any transfer instrument. |
Planning, heritage and demolition records
| Record group | Reference / date | Verification question | Record status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heritage record | GGAT HER GGAT02038s; NPRN 20182 | What does each record say about the farmstead, location, use and demolition? | Match the HER record to the mapped site at Llandough-juxta-Penarth. Do not conflate it with the separate 1978–80 Roman villa/farm excavation south of the church. |
| Measured survey | RCAHMW, H. J. Thomas survey, 26 April 1974 | What do the original survey notes, photographs and plans establish? | Link the original survey record and each plan or image individually. |
| Listing correspondence | Cadw ATISN27021; correspondence dated 5 December 1988 | What assessment, advice, decision and contemporaneous records were made or retained? | The disclosure is reported to include two photographs. Confirm separately whether the assessment and demolition records exist or were searched for. |
| Planning permission | 89/01396/OUT, granted 13 March 1990; 92/00671/RES | What approved plans, conditions and reserved-matters documents define the permitted development? | Compare the complete application files, decision notices, approved plans and condition discharge records. |
Each entry should link to the originating document, identify its custodian and date, and distinguish the wording of the source from any later interpretation. An absent record, an unlocated deed and a refusal to disclose information are different evidential states.
