Land that was unregistered land (adjoining the former Church of St Brise) at Eglwys Brewis, St Athan, near Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales CF62 4WA which the Ministry of Defence (MOD) acquired on the grounds set out in a Statutory Declaration on the 17 June 2010

The land now comprises:

A roadway adjoining the former Church of St Brise as shown edged red on the attached plan.

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 exception applies.

In this instance the land is not to be offered back because an exception applies, as per Rule 15(3) of the Crichel Down Rules, as follows: “where, in the opinion of the disposing body, the area of land is so small that its sale would not be commercially worthwhile.” 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.

In this situation as the land was unregistered, MOD cannot provide the details of the original former owner.

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 at:

John Jones, Senior Estates Surveyor, Land Management Services, Defence Infrastructure Organisation, Building 133A, Churchill Lines, St Athan, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan CF62 4NX

Successors in title should state and provide evidence of their relationship to the former owner and evidence to show that, had the land not been acquired by the MOD, it would have devolved under the former owner’s will or intestacy to the successor in title.
