Land at the above location has been declared surplus to Ministry of Defence (MOD) requirements and is to be sold. The Crichel Down Rules require Government Departments, under certain circumstances, to offer back surplus land to the former owner or their successors in title at current market value, unless an exemption applies.

In this instance the land is not to be offered back because an exemption or exemptions apply. MOD would like to trace the former owner or successors in title to the former owner (as defined in the Crichel Down Rules) to notify them of the decision.

The Former Owner(s) are:

1. Walter Henry Wardle & John Malcolm Guthrie

2. Thomas Henry Jackson & John Coverley Whitfield

The former owners or their successor(s) in title (other than through purchase) should contact MOD in writing within two months of the date of this notice to:

Alison Demaine-Grieve BSc. MRICS, Defence Infrastructure Organisation, Estates A&D, Bdg 18 Piave Lines, Leyburn Road, Catterick Garrison DL9 3LR

Successors in title should state and provide evidence of their relationship to the former owner.
