Assessed 14 October 2026. Scope: documented appearance in one 1965 conveyance. Glamorgan County Council is a historic authority; its records may sit with Glamorgan Archives or successor councils. Inclusion is not a finding of fault.
Documented appearances
| Date | Appearance | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 11 June 1965 | Party (3) to the conveyance of land for Llandough Primary School; consideration £16,800. The Vale of Glamorgan Council states it holds the conveyance and contract, has no record of a gift or undervalue, and no valuation or committee report, and that older committee records may be at Glamorgan Archives. | Reply register R23 (FOI 00211027), 14 September 2026 |
Current finding
As at 14 October 2026, the material reviewed does not establish wrongdoing. The Vale’s statements describe what it holds. They do not establish what the County Council’s own committee papers contain.
Next step
Search the Glamorgan Archives for County Council committee minutes and valuation papers around the 1965 purchase; separately identify and search planning/development-control committee records and general council minutes from June 1988 to February 1989 for any reference to Great House Farm, Tŷ Mawr, listing/retention or demolition. The National Archives’ DCVG catalogue identifies general minute volumes DCVG/C/1/33 (June–November 1988) and DCVG/C/1/34 (December 1988–February 1989), but this does not confirm that the specific planning-committee minutes are in those volumes or that the farmhouse was discussed. See DCVG catalogue and New Archival Leads, section 8.4. Acceptance: the correct minute series is identified and searched; either the relevant page/minute is cited or a dated, scoped negative search is recorded. Absence from general minutes alone does not prove no discussion occurred.

(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
- Local Government Act 1972 s.224 (proper arrangements for its documents); FOIA 2000 and EIR 2004; planning and land registers it must keep (Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the planning register rules); the s.46 Code of Practice.
- 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
- An ICO or Ombudsman finding on records and handling; if a decision on the land rested on an incomplete record, exposure may extend to the consequences of that decision.
(e) Evidence still needed
- Inspect the planning register, the land-terrier and estates files, and the minute books for the years in question. for paid visit list
