9. In your follow-up email of 7 June you asked for all records, correspondence, 
assessments, site notes, photographs, internal memos, or communications 
relating to Great House Farm / Ty Mawr from the 1970s to 1990s. 
 
I am interpreting the timeframe here as 1 January 1970 to 31 December 1999. 
 
Following a search of our paper and electronic records, apart from the two 
photographs, I have established that the information you require is not held by the 
Welsh Government. 
 
Any other associated records would have been either transferred to the Royal 
Commission on the Ancient & Historical Monuments of Wales for permanent 
preservation, or destroyed under the Public Record Act 1958. 
 
If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you 
can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response.  
Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s 
Freedom of Information Officer at Information Rights Unit, Welsh Government, 
[address redacted]
Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above. 
 
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner.  The 
Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, 
[address redacted]
that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been 
through our own internal review process. 
 
Yours Sincerely,
