The assessment as last published
Carried over unchanged from v1.0.0 (21 October 2026). Links point inside this site.
Assessed 14 October 2026. Scope: documented appearance and the family’s preservation letter. The wiki’s current text does not state Persimmon’s role in the development; that must be taken from the planning, transfer and register records. Inclusion is not a finding of fault.
Documented appearances
| Date | Appearance | Source |
|---|---|---|
| September–October 2026 | The name appears in the Forest of Cardiff review, the Welsh Government and Cadw catalogue (Part 3), the Source Conflicts Register, the legal review and the Land Registry Titles page. | Forest of Cardiff review; Source Conflicts Register |
| September 2026 | A separate letter to Persimmon is already on the wiki; it is not duplicated here. | Wiki letter (page to be linked) |
Current finding
As at 14 October 2026, nothing reviewed establishes wrongdoing by Persimmon. Homeowners at Church View Close are innocent purchasers in possession on the plan’s own assessment, and individual residents are not named (UK GDPR).
Next step
Establish from HM Land Registry and planning records which Persimmon entity, if any, held or developed which land, and on what dates; link the existing letter and record any reply. Acceptance: the entity and its role are stated from a register or transfer entry, with the letter linked.

(b) Inconsistencies and gaps
None found in the correspondence on file.
(c) Quarantined-name links
Records on the quarantine register (Kissed Frogs) that sit in, or came from, this institution’s holdings. None is treated as settled.
No quarantined-name record on the register is linked to this institution’s holdings.
(d) Duty and liability — our reading
Liability indicators (our reading): none
- Duty
- No general statutory duty to disclose; UK GDPR Art. 15 for personal data it holds; duties in contract, conveyancing practice or professional rules where it was a party, agent or adviser; once on notice of a possible claim, an expectation to preserve relevant documents.
- Indicators the duty was not met
- none found in the correspondence on file.
- Evidence still needed to confirm
- the institution’s retention schedule and disposal record for the series in question; the catalogue or file list it searched; any internal review or complaint outcome.
- Likely extent of exposure if confirmed
- Depends on its role in a transaction: where it was a party or adviser to a dealing in the land, exposure follows that role; otherwise none beyond data-protection duties.
(e) Evidence still needed
- View any deposited papers (company or estate records) at the archive that holds them. for paid visit list
