Dear FOI,

The House is sometimes called The Big House, Blaenavon House, or The Beeches or Ty Mawr. It is on Church Road. My question is about the wood behind it formally known as The Park and part of the grounds of the Ty Mawr . I believe it has split up sometime in the 1980’s.
Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Carol Liddiard

FOI, Torfaen County Borough Council

Many thanks. I will pass on the information.

Dear Carol

 

Thank you for your email dated 27^th March 2018 requesting information
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am now in a position to
respond to your questions as follows:

 

Please can you tell me who owns Ty Mawr Wood, Blaenavon? Who is
responsible for its maintenance and the lane leading into Ty Mawr House,
and the houses on the lane beyond?

 

I have been advised that the lane in question is not owned by the Council
and we do not have ownership details.  It may be possible for you to
obtain these details from Land Registry and I include a web link which you

I can confirm that the Council owns the wooded area indicated on the
attached map.  The wood is the most significant stand of mature trees
owned by the Council in urban Blaenavon and is used by local people as
accessible green space.  It is managed by the Council’s Countryside
Rangers to enhance its biodiversity value and accessibility.  In terms of
maintaining the wood, works would only be undertaken for the purposes of
conservation.
