Senedd

We confirm your correction regarding Great House Farm, Llandough has been noted.

“Your correction is noted with thanks.”

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

We confirm the Committee cannot take forward the matters raised, as committees do not oversee day-to-day operational decisions in individual cases; we've shared petition guidance and point you to the relevant public body and then the Ombudsman for Wales.

“Parliamentary committees do not have a role in reviewing or overseeing day-to-day operational decisions taken in individual cases”

I ask the Senedd to consider an independent or committee inquiry into the 1988 demolition of Great House Farm, pointing to the compressed timeline between heritage listing consideration, loss of possession and demolition, and asking what records public bodies actually considered.

“emergency heritage protection was being considered, domestic interim relief was refused, possession was obtained and the building was then destroyed within days”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

We confirm the Committee still cannot take the matter forward, as it concerns a specific historical case, and suggest pursuing record-keeping concerns with the relevant archival body or through the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales.

“the Committee is unable to take forward the matters raised in your correspondence”

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

I acknowledge the Committee's decision not to proceed, restate that the family's concern is the missing administrative record of Cadw's 1988 assessment confirmed by FOI reference ATISN 27021, and say we will now pursue this via the ombudsman and archival authorities.

“the near-total absence of the administrative record, as confirmed by Cadw’s FOI response ATISN 27021”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

We acknowledge your correspondence but explain the Committee has no remit to investigate individual disputes or reopen historical decisions, and direct you to Cadw as the body responsible for its own records and decisions.

“the Committee does not have a remit to investigate, adjudicate upon, or oversee individual complaints or dispute”

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

I clarify for the Committee that the family is not asking it to adjudicate the 1988 decision, but to explain why Cadw's 1988 assessment records are almost entirely missing and whether the surviving evidence should be reflected in the public record.

“how can the adequacy and evidential basis of an irreversible public heritage decision be understood or scrutinised when the underlying administrative record no longer survives”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

On the family's behalf, I ask an investigations desk to examine the 1987 BP v Buckler case and the Great House Farm history, citing years of research pointing to missing records and possible institutional concealment by public bodies.

“serious inconsistencies, missing records and evidence of institutional concealment that deserve independent scrutiny”

We thank you for your email and say a full reply will follow once our constituency office is set up.

“I am currently in the process of setting up a constituency office, and will reply to your email in full as soon as possible”

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

The Senedd office corrects earlier information, confirming the family's postcode places them in Caerdydd Penarth rather than Pen-y-bont Bro Morgannwg, and lists their actual Senedd Members with available contacts.

“you are actually in a Caerdydd Penarth NOT Penybont Bro Morgannwg”

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

The project manager briefly thanks the Senedd office for the corrected constituency and Senedd Member information.

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

On behalf of the family, I set out our position that Great House Farm, Llandough was wrongly taken from the family from 1988, raising concerns about court process, Land Registry handling and loss of historic artefacts, and asking for this to be resolved.

“the rightful owners and occupiers of Great House Farm, Llandough, since 1667 until our unlawful, unconstitution, brutal and inhumane dispossession”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

A caseworker replies on behalf of the former Member that they cannot assist with the case, explains the Member's new seat, and lists the correct local Senedd Members for the family's postcode.

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

An automatic reply confirms the Senedd has been dissolved and the Member has left office, with the inbox no longer monitored, and directs the family to the local MP or the Vale of Glamorgan Council instead.

“The Senedd has been dissolved, and as a result the Member is no longer a Member.”

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

The project manager, writing for the family, corrects the postcode and address details used to identify their constituency, providing the correct ones.

“that post code is unknown to me”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

Writing for the Williams/Buckler family, the project manager sets out their history as owners and occupiers of Great House Farm, Llandough since 1667 and their forced dispossession in 1988, seeking resolution and raising wider concerns about similar cases.

“the rightful owners and occupiers of Great House Farm, Llandough, since 1667”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

The project manager resends, on behalf of the Williams/Buckler family, the same account of their dispossession from Great House Farm, Llandough since 1667, seeking resolution.

“the rightful owners and occupiers of Great House Farm, Llandough, since 1667”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

The Senedd official confirms that to proceed the family must create a petition through the official online system and shares the link to do so.

“y ffordd gorau nawr bydd i greu deiseb trwy ein system arlein”

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

We explained that Senedd petitions are created and run through an online system and must meet set petition standards, and suggested you check these first as a petition may not be the best route for this issue.

“Senedd petitions are created and managed through an online system , and must meet the standards for petitions”

#email #to #hywelapbuckler #senedd

I thanked the Clerk for the guidance and widened the proposed petition to cover similar historic Welsh land cases and possible systemic issues with agricultural and heritage protections, using the Great House Farm case as the lead example, and asked whether this framing would meet the Committee's standards.

“gadarn ar faterion datganoledig: polisi amgylchedd hanesyddol Cymru, gwarchodaethau amaethyddol, rôl CADW”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

I chased my earlier public inquiry request on the 1987 land case, raising concealment and collusion concerns, and separately invited interest in a possible coordinated review of historic 1950-2000 adverse possession cases where licence letters may not have effectively interrupted long-term occupation.

“whether in certain instances such licences may not have constituted legally effective interruption of adverse possession”

#email #from #hywelapbuckler #to #senedd

I formally asked the Senedd to set up a petition and public inquiry into the 1987 BP v Buckler case and the destruction of the 800-year-old Great House Farm, Llandough, pointing to a 1974 statement by my grandmother, my father's failed appeal, his imprisonment, and his blocked application to the European Court of Human Rights before his death in 1991.

The requester forwards a prior message describing use of AI analysis to reopen a historic land case and asserts potential damages.
