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 successor(s) in title at current market value unless an exemption applies.

In this instance the land is not to be offered back because the material change exemption applies. MOD would like to trace the former owner or successor(s) in title to the former owner (as defined in the Crichel Down Rules) to notify them of the decision.

Former Owners:

(1) Robert Kay Wadsworth of Handforth Hall, Wilmslow, Chester

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

Charlotte Marshall BSc (Hons) MRICS, Defence Infrastructure Organisation, Estates Acquisitions & Disposals North, Building 18, Piave Lines, Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire DL9 3LR

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