Subject: Re: Great House Farm / suspected historic fraud — further information and request for consideration From: Sion Buckler Direction: sent Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 12:36 UTC Institution: Crown Prosecution Service Refs: none Archive id: gm-1a0f250d8b44a046 ------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Mr/Ms Rutter, Further to my email of earlier today and your message of 29 September 2026. I am writing to place further material and context before the Victim Liaison Unit so that CPS Cymru-Wales has the information necessary to identify any existing record or referral and, where appropriate, to ensure that the material reaches the prosecutor or team responsible for considering it. I am not asking the CPS to determine the underlying civil title to the property. The issue I am raising is whether the documentary history gives rise to potential criminal offences, whether those matters warrant investigation, and, if a private prosecution is subsequently instituted, whether the circumstances are such that the Director's power under section 6(2) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985 should be considered. 1. Police engagement and current references On 28 September 2026 I submitted a formal crime-recording request to South Wales Police ([email redacted]), copied to Stephen Doughty MP for constituency-record purposes only. The request asks South Wales Police to record, or explain in writing why they will not record, a report concerning suspected fraud and related concealment in the creation and subsequent use of registered title to the former Great House Farm / Tŷ Mawr, Llandough. It identifies, in particular, the first-registration application for WA231076 dated 30 November 1982, the application for WA240304 dated 23 February 1983, and matters arising from the subsequent 1987 proceedings. I also have a live Subject Access Request with South Wales Police concerning the 1988 eviction and demolition and related personal data. I previously reported suspected irregularities concerning the 1982 registration to HM Land Registry (reference 260202-5732372). Further HM Land Registry enquiry references include 260929-6766714 and related references generated in September 2026. If a Report Fraud reference is issued, I will provide it immediately. For present purposes, I ask that the South Wales Police crime-recording request and the HM Land Registry report of suspected registration irregularities be treated as the principal current investigative references. 2. Documentary title sequence and suspected criminality The public evidence index is available at: https://greathousefarmwiki.wordpress.com/ The material assembled there identifies a documentary sequence which, in my present assessment, raises questions as to whether the family's historic proprietary interest in the farmhouse parcel was displaced through the use of records, possession evidence and registration material relating to a different or wider parcel, and whether subsequent registration and dealings then relied upon that resulting title position. For convenience, I refer on the website to this as the "synthetic title" issue. That is a description of the documentary pattern I have identified, rather than an assumption that criminal liability has already been established. The distinction is important because the 1987 Court of Appeal proceedings concerned possession, limitation and the October 1974 correspondence. My concern is that those proceedings did not determine the underlying documentary root of title to the farmhouse parcel now represented by the registered title history. 3. 1955 possession order and the neighbouring parcel A further issue requiring examination is the relationship between the 1955 possession order and the land historically occupied and claimed by the Williams/Buckler family. My evidence indicates that the 1955 order related to a neighbouring parcel rather than the family's core farmhouse holding. I am concerned that subsequent possession and development activity may nevertheless have treated that order, or the associated possession history, as extending to land outside the parcel to which it actually related. Recent excavation and works on the former family land make this a live evidential issue. I ask that the underlying order, plans, descriptions and subsequent land use be considered against the documentary title sequence rather than assuming that the parcels were identical. 4. Possible loss or destruction of relevant records I hold dated photographs concerning works which removed a commemorative tree planted by my great-grandfather on or adjoining the former Great House Farm / Church View Close land. I have made a narrowed FOI request to the Vale of Glamorgan Council (case 00211484) seeking the instruction, works order, authorisation and any record linking the tree to the Williams/Buckler family or to the 1988 demolition. More generally, I am concerned that parts of the planning and land-history record which could bear upon the ownership history are incomplete or unavailable. I am not presently asking the CPS to draw an inference from that absence. I ask that any potentially relevant records held by public authorities or other custodians be identified and preserved while the police and other investigations are ongoing. 5. Existing correspondence and preservation I have maintained a continuous documentary record of communications concerning these issues with: - South Wales Police, including FOI, SAR, crime-recording and preservation correspondence; - HM Land Registry and the Independent Complaints Reviewer (ICR/090/26); - Cadw, Heneb, RCAHMW, Glamorgan Archives, National Library of Wales and other heritage bodies; and - Vale of Glamorgan Council, including FOI requests and internal reviews. Preservation requests/notices have also been made to principal record-holders where I consider material may be relevant, so that potentially significant evidence is not inadvertently destroyed, transferred or disposed of while these matters are being examined. 6. Request to CPS Cymru-Wales I respectfully ask CPS Cymru-Wales to: (a) note the South Wales Police crime-recording request of 28 September 2026 and HM Land Registry reference 260202-5732372 as the present principal references, with any subsequent police or Report Fraud reference to be added when available; (b) ensure that the material is considered by the appropriate CPS prosecutor or team if it is referred for prosecutorial consideration, including consideration of whether the alleged documentary conduct raises sufficiently serious or complex criminal issues to require specialist casework; (c) note that, should a private prosecution subsequently be instituted, I may make a specific request for the CPS to consider the Director's power under section 6(2) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985; and (d) advise me of the appropriate procedure for making such a request, and the evidence CPS would require, if that stage is reached. I appreciate that the CPS does not itself conduct the police investigation. My purpose at this stage is to ensure that the potential prosecutorial dimension is properly identified and that the present material is capable of being matched to any police investigation or later referral. I remain ready to provide an indexed evidential bundle comprising the 1955 and 1974 material, historical conveyances and plans, HM Land Registry documentation for WA231076, WA240304 and related titles, relevant court records, chronology, and photographs concerning the former property and subsequent works. The website provides a public index to much of this material. I note the previous deadline of 13 October 2026. I will provide any South Wales Police crime/incident reference or Report Fraud reference as soon as it is allocated.
