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).

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)
