D696 — Western Ground Rents Rental Books & Plan Book — Litigation Evidence Lead
Wiki catalogue reference: WP-PAGE-1654 (provisional wiki reference) · Custodian / source URL: Buckler family evidence repository
Evidence status / pursuit trail: As of 10 October 2026, no inline evidence image or source-file link was identified in this page content; this does not establish that a custodian holds no record. Cross-check FOI reply register, records access chronology and missing-records register; these links do not assert that a specific request exists for every item.
D696 — Western Ground Rents records, c.1938–1944
Status: BACKGROUND / PARKED. D696 is not a current priority work package.
The family already has the May 1939 WGR–John Williams agreement and plan, and that plan has been conclusively analysed as Parcel B only. The family also states that rent on Parcel A had ceased in 1928. Consequently the D696 rental books do not need to be inspected merely to re-prove the tenancy boundary.
Retrospective archive lead (R52, 11 June 2026): the supplied summary of the email reports a three-volume D696 collection, c. 1938–1944, and an archivist’s suggestion to cross-search “Western Ground Rents” with “Thomas” for possible Daniel Thomas agreements. This is a specific search suggestion, but it does not identify a particular item or establish a Parcel A connection. See GHF-E106-R52. The status remains BACKGROUND / PARKED unless a precise record lead meets the reopening test below.
When D696 becomes worth pursuing
Only reopen this item if a concrete catalogue or archive lead shows that a D696 record directly concerns Parcel A, the woodland, the land now comprising VG41, or the 1955 taking.
A D696 record that merely repeats the Parcel-B tenancy/rent position adds little. A record showing a separate Parcel-A treatment, a 1955 instruction, a boundary change or a WGR ownership statement could be material.
Project control
D696 is therefore a conditional corroboration source, not a stage-gate deliverable. Family time and archive costs should be directed first to the 1955 execution record, VG41 registration file, current VG41 title, and the woodland title chain.
