Land at the above location has been declared surplus to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) requirements and is to be transferred. 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 exception applies.

In this instance it has been decided that the exception in rule 15(4) of the Crichel Down Rules applies and that the land is not to be offered back.

MOD therefore wishes to trace anyone who may fall within the definition of former owner or successor in title contained in the Crichel Down Rules to notify them of the decision.

(1) Jack Olding & Co. Limited

(2) Charles Edward Chilton

(3) Susie Hadland The former owner or their successor(s) in title (other than through purchase) are invited to contact MOD by writing within two months of the date of this notice to:

Julien Baker,Defence Infrastructure Organisation, Building 18, Piave Lines, Leyburn Road, Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, DL9 3LR.

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