Interpretation and wider context
INTERPRETATION Published the day of the forced entry. It shows demolition of an outbuilding had begun the same day (“half the roof off”), and that Branwen had “won the court …” (the extract is cut off; the interim injunction is reported on 3 December, GHF-E090-N08).
It supports the date of 30 November for both the forced entry and the start of demolition of the outbuildings.
