Records Enquiries Team,

Case reference: CAS-344046-K1S1R2
I wrote to you on 12 August 2026 with a follow-up refining my earlier
enquiry concerning National Farm Survey / MAFF records relating to Great
House Farm (Ty Mawr), Llandough, Vale of Glamorgan (Williams / Buckler
family interest).

I have not yet received a substantive reply to that follow-up and would be
grateful for an update on progress and the expected timescale for a full
response.

In addition, please expand the scope of the search to include any records
held relating to the Glamorgan War Agricultural Executive Committee (“War
Ag” / CWAEC) and Great House Farm / the relevant land at Llandough,
covering approximately 1936–1950 (with particular focus on 1939–1945). This
should include, where held:
Any orders, notices or decisions taking possession of, directing
cultivation of, or otherwise requisitioning land forming part of Great
House Farm (or the specific parcel now associated with Llandough Motor
Sales / Llandough Trading Estate).

Any compensation claims, assessments, payments or settlements under the
Compensation (Defence) Act 1939 or related wartime legislation, including
the identity of the recipient(s).

Relevant minutes, correspondence or case files of the Glamorgan CWAEC
concerning the farm or land in question.

Any related material in the MAF series that links the National Farm Survey
entries with wartime agricultural possession or compensation.

I hold original documents recording compensation payments in connection
with this land and am seeking to identify the wartime status of the holding
and the party recognised as entitled to compensation.

Please link this expanded request to the existing case reference
CAS-344046-K1S1R2 so that the searches can be coordinated.

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your reply.

Regards,
