Chronology and catalogue links — assessed 10-10-2026: See the Institutional Involvement Roadmap (1877–2026) for the date-ordered institution, people and evidence sequence. The reported 1988 Cadw-to-Minister spot-listing letter has its own placeholder at GHF-E152; the original has not been attached to that page as at 10-10-2026. A placeholder records an evidence gap, not the letter’s content or proof of misconduct.

Forensic Institutional Review — Crown Prosecution Service

Scope: CPS involvement only. No criminal allegation is treated as established by the family research.

Role

The CPS is relevant only where a historic offence, prosecution decision or present criminal-law referral is evidenced. The current project record does not establish that the CPS was a decision-maker in the 1984–88 title, registration or demolition process. ^🕒

Control test

Identify any actual CPS case/reference, charging decision, advice to police, prosecution file or retained record tied to the Great House Farm events. Do not substitute press reports or family recollection for a prosecution record.

Current finding

As at 10-10-2026, the material reviewed does not establish CPS misconduct or a criminal-law failure. This assessment is limited by the identified historical records and searches. The missing-record rule applies: absence of a current search result is not proof of historic destruction or concealment. ^🕒

Human action

Only pursue a targeted records request if the South Wales Police or court evidence identifies a concrete CPS case/reference. Any future referral must concern a specific suspected offence and evidence, not the civil title dispute itself.

Acceptance: either a documentary CPS role is identified and reviewed, or a defensible negative-search record closes the route.

Institutional appearance timeline — linked source index

Coverage rule: this is a chronological navigation map of published Wiki source pages found by searching the current site index for “Crown Prosecution Service”. Every event label links directly to the page containing the source. It avoids duplicating source narratives. It records mention/appearance, not culpability. Dates are transcribed from page titles where available; “Date not explicit in title” means the linked source must be consulted. Search indexing is a discovery aid, not proof of exhaustive external coverage. ^🕒
