Subject: Great House Farm, Llandough

Dear Civic Trust,

I am researching the 1989 planning application for the development of
Church View Close, Llandough-juxta-Penarth, and in particular the treatment
of the historic Great House Farm farmhouse.

The surviving planning officer's report records that representations were
received from the *Civic Trust* and the *Barry Preservation Society*, but
the report does not set out the substance of those representations.

I therefore request any records held by the Civic Trust concerning the 1989
planning application, including:

   - the letter, objection, representation or submission made by the Civic
   Trust concerning the application;
   - any comments specifically concerning the retention, demolition,
   alteration or preservation of the *Great House Farm farmhouse*;
   - any photographs, plans, notes, minutes, correspondence or internal
   records relating to the farmhouse or the application;
   - correspondence with Vale of Glamorgan/Barry Council, the developer,
   GGAT, Cadw or any other body concerning the historic or archaeological
   significance of the farmhouse/site;
   - the date on which the Trust became aware of the proposal and the date
   and method by which its representation was submitted; and
   - any subsequent correspondence concerning the fate or demolition of the
   farmhouse.

I am particularly interested in establishing *what the Civic Trust said in
1989 about whether Great House Farm farmhouse should be retained*, and the
evidence or reasons given for that position.

The planning application concerned the site at Llandough-juxta-Penarth
subsequently developed as Church View Close. The relevant planning records
describe the site as formerly containing Great House Farm.

Please provide copies of any records you hold, preferably as scanned PDFs
or images. If the original records are no longer held, please state that
and, if known, identify where they were transferred or deposited.

This is a historical research request concerning records from 1989.

Regards,

Sion Buckler
