Llandough entries
- London Gazette, 4 Mar 1960, p.1630: “Land on E. side of Sully Road, Llandough, Penarth, Glamorgan, by George Wimpey & Co., Limited.” (Gazette page)
- London Gazette, 27 Nov 1964, p.10129: “Land on E. side of Pen Y Lan Road, Llandough, Penarth, Glam, by Lakeside and Llandough Development Company Limited.” (objections before 11 Dec 1964) (Gazette page)
- London Gazette, 3 Jul 1969, p.6898: “Land to S. of Vale View Close, Llandough, Glam, by Lakeside and Llandough Development Co., Ltd.” (objections before 17 Jul 1969) (Gazette page)
- London Gazette, 1 Aug 1972, p.9174: “Part of O.S. Nos. 3203 and 3409 Cogan, Penarth, Glam. by George Wimpey & Co., Ltd.” (Gazette page)
Unconfirmed: Whether any of these parcels was part of the Great House Farm holding. “Pen Y Lan Road” is probably today’s Penlan Road (inference). Which applications the Registry chose to advertise is also unconfirmed.
Cuts against: The Registry’s Gazette notices of this kind stop around May 1975 (latest found 1 May 1975). So the absence of a Gazette notice for the 1982–83 first registrations is not, on its own, evidence of concealment. The 1964 and 1969 notices also show that some former Western Ground Rents land in Llandough went through a public objection window.
Location note (unconfirmed): by OpenStreetMap, Penlan Road is about 150 m south of Church View Close / St Dochdwy’s Church, and Vale View Close about 0.8 km south. The Dec 1987 council minutes mention “the council’s Penlan Road licence” beside VG41 (EV-0214). Whether the 1964 “Pen Y Lan Road” parcel touches the green or farm land needs the parcel plan.
Proves: HM Land Registry publicly advertised four pending first registrations of land at Llandough and Cogan in 1960, 1964, 1969 and 1972, by George Wimpey & Co. and by Lakeside and Llandough Development Co.
Does not prove: That any of the land was the farm’s, or any wrongdoing by any party.
