Interpretation
The Western Mail of 6 December 1988 reported that an application for an injunction to stop BP Properties Ltd destroying the fabric of the house was dismissed in chambers in Cardiff, that leave to appeal to the House of Lords had been refused, and that a Cadw spokesperson found the house not of sufficient architectural merit and the land not of sufficient archaeological interest. It quoted the family’s solicitor, Mr Colin Jongman. Compare the RCAHMW description of the same house, EV-0629.
