Related (19 Oct 2026): the Commons Registration (Glamorgan) Act 1983 covers the register of common land only and does not mention village greens, so it did not validate or redraw VG41 (EV-0232).

Proves: Not held, so nothing yet. Reported: village green VG41 was registered on 16 June 1970; The Vale’s registers, compiled 1967–70, record claims to ownership.

Does not prove: Does not establish who claimed ownership, evidence or objections, exact area/map, any Commissioner decision, or vesting; Register entry alone doesn’t prove fee-simple ownership.

Interpretation: working hypotheses

Working hypotheses, kept apart from the record above. The record text on this page is unchanged. None of these is a finding: each line is labelled as inference, theory, a reading that cuts against the case, or a discarded theory, and names the evidence it rests on and what would confirm or refute it, so the reader can test it. Updated 25 Oct 2026 (v2: ingredients wording).

Relevance to the 29 October 2026 working theory. VG41 is a potentially independent boundary/provenance checkpoint for Parcel C, created after the 1955 taking and outside the BP registration process. The applicant, mapped polygon, ownership section, notices and objections should be compared with the 1955 execution materials and the reported 1958/1959 events. Registration as village green does not automatically establish fee-simple ownership or prove an earlier taking was unlawful. See the hypothesis and its tests.

Three versions of Parcel A

THEORY · P-01Working hypothesis (the family's frame): three versions of Parcel A, the house parcel, which the family calls "synthetic", were created without the occupier as a party — A1, the Forest of Cardiff woodland title WA735527 (1994); A2, BP Properties' farmhouse title WA240304 (1983); A3, the village green VG41 registered by Glamorgan County Council (1970). Each turned land the family regarded as theirs into a registered or statutory parcel held by someone else.

Rests on: EV-0136 · EV-0166 · EV-0169 · EV-0065 · EV-0066 · EV-0044 (this page) · EV-0023

Would be confirmed by: Side-by-side plans showing each parcel overlapping the house parcel on the 1939 tenancy plan, and application papers silent about the person in occupation (LRA 1925 s.70(1)(g)).

Would be refuted by: Plans showing no overlap with the house parcel.

Status: Open (family hypothesis)

CUTS AGAINST THE CASE · P-02Cuts against A3: on the certified VG41 map the green is a small roadside wedge in front of the church, and objection No 314 was in the land section (whether the land is a green), not the ownership section. The "1970 synthetic Parcel A" reading is weak on the map read so far.

Rests on: EV-0044 (this page) · EV-0263 · research log E88

Would be confirmed by: A VG41 plan or Commons Commissioner file showing the green extended over the house parcel.

Would be refuted by: The certified map as read (a roadside wedge only).

Status: Weakened

Demolition, archaeology and the green

THEORY · H-03Ground R8: VG41 was registered in 1970 by Glamorgan County Council as registration authority; the same council's planning committee had heard her, reported as Mrs M. D. Buckler, on 19 Nov 1958 describe her family's land as "wrongfully appropriated". Working hypothesis: a separate route on the green, not a ground to reopen the 1987 judgment.

Rests on: EV-0044 (this page) · EV-0263 · EV-0232 · EV-0035 · EV-0036 · ground R8

Would be confirmed by: The Commons Commissioner or county council file on VG41.

Would be refuted by: A file showing the 1958 hearing and the green were handled by unconnected officers with no notice of the dispute.

Status: Open (ground R8, scores a1 b0 c2 d1)
