Dear
Great House Farm, Llandough (ATISN 27021)
Thank you for your request which I received on 1 June 2026. You asked for:
1. Any photographs, plans, surveys or architectural records held by Cadw or the
Welsh Government relating to Great House Farm.
2. Any consideration of the property for statutory listing.
The information you requested is enclosed at Docs 1 and 2. For the purposes of
clarity, the house was visited and assessed for listing by Cadw inspectors and did
not meet the listing criteria. As such, the only record of the inspection we hold are
the two photographs enclosed.
You also asked for:
3. Any listing assessments, surveys, inspections, recommendations or reports
concerning the building.
4. Any correspondence between Cadw, Welsh Office officials, local authorities,
conservation bodies, archaeological organisations or owners concerning the
historic significance, preservation, demolition or protection of the property.
5. Any records explaining why the building was not added to the statutory list of
buildings of special architectural or historic interest.
6. Any records discussing the age, architectural significance, archaeological
significance or surviving historic fabric of the building.
7. Any records concerning emergency listing, spot-listing, preservation notices or
other forms of protection considered for the property.
8. Any records held relating to public campaigns, petitions or representations
seeking preservation of the building.
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,
Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ or email: freedomofinformation@gov.wales.
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,
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. However, please note
that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been
through our own internal review process.
Yours Sincerely,
Annex A
Great House Farm, Llandough (ATISN 27021)
