Dear Monitoring Officer / Corporate Complaints Team,

With great regret I am writing to make a complaint about the persistent
failure of Councillor George D. D. Carroll (Llandough ward) to respond
substantively to my repeated and reasonable correspondence concerning
historic land, planning, enforcement, heritage and related public-interest
matters at Great House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough (now Church View Close),
Vale of Glamorgan.

I have a legitimate and long-standing family interest in the site
(Williams/Buckler family connection documented from the 17th century). See
attached.

The issues raised include alleged defective notices, loss of opportunity to
contest enforcement leading to demolition in 1988, heritage/regulatory
oversight, planning and title records, and related transparency failures.

Despite multiple contacts over several months, I have received no
substantive replies from Cllr Carroll. This constitutes a failure to
respond and a failure to deal with the case properly.
