Subject: EIR request - Case Ref/ 00210772 From: FOI Unit Direction: received Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2026 13:51 UTC Institution: Vale of Glamorgan Council Refs: 00210772 Archive id: gm-19f3cd95eeea3854 ------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Mr Buckler Thank you for your request for information about Great House Farm, Williams/Buckler Family, Llandough, Vale of Glamorgan and the further clarification that was received on the 7th June. Your request has been processed under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004. The Council's Planning records have been reviewed and the Planning department has provided the following response: In line with your clarification that was received on the 7th June, searches have been undertaken by the Council's Planning department in relation to the historic Great House Farm / Ty Mawr estate in Llandough. This includes land adjacent to and including Church View Close and the north side of Leckwith Road, with particular reference to the area identified within Land Registry title WA231076 and the timeframe indicated from 1875 onwards, where records exist. We have been advised that the links to the planning records relating to the redevelopment of the site during the 1980s-1990s have previously been provided by colleagues in the Planning department. These records, including associated documentation, are publicly available via the Council's Planning Register and can be accessed using the relevant application reference numbers at View or Comment on a Planning Application. This information is therefore excepted under Regulation 6(1)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 - information already publicly available and easily accessible by other means. Whilst planning files may contain some archaeological information, it is also noted that archaeological records for the Vale of Glamorgan are maintained by Heneb (formerly Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust). We suggest that you contact Heneb directly to access relevant records. Details on how to contact them can be found at Heneb - The Trust for Welsh Archaeology. To the extent that the Council does not hold further archaeological reports beyond those contained within planning files, Regulation 12(4)(a) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (information not held) applies. Following searches of Planning records, no additional information has been identified within the scope of your request. You asked whether any records may have been transferred to Glamorgan Archives or otherwise. It is possible that historic material of this nature may be held externally, and you may therefore wish to contact Glamorgan Archives directly. Details on how to contact them can be found at https://glamarchives.gov.uk/contact/. From the clarification provided, the Council has been unable to identify which specific GIS datasets are being sought. Please provide further clarification regarding this and once received, we will consider this element further. As previously advised, the Council does not hold records relating to the legal case of BP Properties Ltd v Buckler. Neither the Vale of Glamorgan Council nor its predecessor authorities were parties to that case, which appears to have been a private legal matter. Accordingly, information relating to those proceedings is not held by the Council. If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be made within 40 working days of the date of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be addressed to: c/o The Monitoring Officer - [email redacted] Or by post to The Monitoring Officer, Civic Offices, Holton Road, Barry, [postcode redacted]. Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications. If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner's Office - Wales Second Floor, Churchill House Churchill Way, Cardiff [postcode redacted] [phone redacted] / Fax:[phone redacted] [email redacted] Yours sincerely Information Governance Officer / Swyddog Llywodraethu Gwybodaeth Director's Office - Resources / Swyddfa'r Cyfarwyddwr - Adnoddau Vale of Glamorgan Council / Cyngor Bro Morgannwg tel / ffôn: [phone redacted] e-mail / e-bost: [email redacted] or [email redacted]<[email redacted]> Consider the environment.
