Hi Sion
Thank you for your email.
I have spoken with a past Chair of Penarth Civic Society and she has
confirmed that we had no involvement with the planning process regarding
the farmhouse, our interests have always stopped at Cogan.
I wonder if the Civic Trust was a different organisation operating at the
time?

Sorry we can’t be more helpful
Regards
Dave Noble
Trustee
