The site is Great House Farm / Tŷ Mawr, Llandough-juxta-Penarth, adjoining St Dochdwy’s Church, Cardiff (approx. ST 168 733), and the period is 1 November to 31 December 1988 inclusive. Please search the relevant South Wales Constabulary / predecessor-force and successor holdings, including any transferred records available to the Force, for existing non-personal records that refer to the site or the events associated with its possession and demolition. Relevant record types, if held, include: 1. incident or occurrence logs and control-room records; 2. deployment, duty or operational logs and any record identifying whether officers attended; 3. correspondence between police, the local authority, landowner/developer, court enforcement officers or other public bodies about the site; 4. any recorded liaison or request for police assistance connected with possession, eviction, demolition, public order or the handling of complaints; and 5. records-transfer, retention or disposal entries for the relevant operational record series, if the responsive records are no longer held. I am not asserting that a police deployment or a particular incident record necessarily exists. If no responsive record is located, please state that result and identify, so far as reasonably practicable, the record systems, index/series, date range and site/name variants searched. Please distinguish “not found in the systems searched” from a contemporaneous record showing that a file was destroyed or transferred. If transferred, please identify the receiving repository and reference where recorded. If any information is withheld, identify the specific statutory basis and release reasonably separable non-exempt information. The existing SAR and internal review under ref. 719/26 are separate processes. If a record contains personal data, please do not disclose it through this FOI route; please identify it only as necessary to explain the FOIA decision and continue to handle personal data through the live SAR. This FOI request is not asking South Wales Police to determine ownership or to decide whether an offence occurred. Please confirm receipt, the request reference, and the statutory response date.
