EV-0169 — HM Land Registry title register for WA735527, September 2026 copy

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 (this page) · EV-0065 · EV-0066 · EV-0044 · 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-03Cuts against A1 as a separate act: the woodland title came through BP's own chain (the 23 May 1975 conveyance passed the farmhouse plot and other land, including woodland north-east of Leckwith Road; BP's retained land in 1989; Forest of Cardiff from 25 Nov 1994). On this record A1 is a continuation of A2, not an independent creation.

Would be confirmed by: A 1994 transfer plan taking in house-parcel land that was never in the 1975 conveyance.

Would be refuted by: The 1975 and 1994 plans matching (already indicated on the register views).

Status: Open (cuts against)

INFERENCE · D-01The 15 May 1924 Bute–J. P. S. Corbett drain agreement is entered on the woodland title WA735527 as the only charge not limited to a plan colour, so it is registered against the whole title, including land that came through the 1975 conveyance; it no longer appears on the residual farm title WA231076 (record, register views). Glamorgan Archives DSA/12/4232 records a sale "Lord Bute to Miss O.S. Corbett" of a plot opposite O.S. 60, with correspondence of 6–22 Mar 1924, two months earlier. Working hypothesis: Bute was still dealing with this land as owner in 1924. That the May drain serves the March plot is an inference, not shown; O.S. 60 is a field on the south-east edge of the village, not the farmhouse plot (O.S. 36).

Rests on: EV-0015 · EV-0169 (this page) · EV-0170 · research log E119, E128 (DSA/12/4232)

Would be confirmed by: The 1924 agreement and its plan (HM Land Registry WA231076 item 2; Glamorgan Archives DSA/12/4232) showing the drain's route across or beside the house parcel.

Would be refuted by: A plan placing the drain wholly away from the house parcel, or a Registry note that the entry was carried over without a plan for clerical reasons.

Status: Open lead

DISCARDED THEORY · D-02DISCARDED: the theory that the 1924 drain agreement burdens only land outside the 1975 farmhouse strand and so tells us nothing about Bute's title. Reason: on WA735527 the entry is unlimited by tint and so registered against the whole woodland title, including 1975 land.

Would be confirmed by: Would be revived by a filed plan limiting the entry.

Would be refuted by: Refuted by the register view as read.

Status: Discarded
