Brixham Urban Council: Invitation to Attend Vicar’s Induction: Berry Head and Its Purchase: … … A letter was received from Mr. F. W. H.  Pinsent, district valuer, of Plymouth, stating that his informal estimate and value of lands at Berry Head scheduled as an open space — namely, £9,000 — was no longer operative. The Clerk (Mr. Sanders Lear) stated that he had written asking to be informed what steps he should take on behalf of the Council to obtain either a renewal of the informal estimate or its revision. Mr. Pinsent had replied that whenever a valuation was required by a government department, he would be glad to supply a revised estimate. In the meantime, he was not in a position to take further action. Mr. J. H. Owen contended that until the Council had decided whether or not to purchase Berry Head they could do nothing. If they intended to buy, their course would be clear. As they could not agree on the price, they must make an application for compulsory power, and the price would then be settled by arbitration.
