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.

However, in this instance the land is not to be offered back because exemptions apply. MOD therefore wishes to trace anyone who may fall within the definition of former owner or successor in title contained in the Crichel Down Rules to notify them of the decision.

Former Owner(s):

Herbert William Draper Esq, of Horton Farm, Horton, Wellington, Shropshire

Edith Annie Jones of Woodlands, Spoonley, Market Drayton, Shropshire

Thomas Charles Ward, Lubstree Park Farm, Wellington, Shropshire

Benjamin James Ward of Donnington Wood, Wellington, Shropshire

The former owner or their successor(s) in title (other than through purchase) are invited to contact MOD by writing within 2 months of the date of this notice to:

Mr A Pullen-Jones, Defence Insfrastructure Organisation, Copthorne Barracks, Copthorne Road, Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY3 7LT

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