Land For Open Spaces: Torquay Arbitration: “One of the Few Level Areas in the Town:” A piece of land which the Torquay Corporation proposed to buy from the Devon Rosery and Fruit Farm Co. Ltd., as a public open space, was the subject of an arbitration held by Mr. J. Willmot, of Birmingham, at Torquay Town Hall, on Friday. … long discussion … Mr. F. W. H. Pinsent, valuer, of Plymouth, called by Mr. Lhind Pratt, said that in a plan of the development of the land he had prepared, he had allowed for a road similar to that suggested by Adams. The difference was that it would be shorter and cost £1,295 instead of £2,000. He estimated the value of the land at £5,100. Asked by Mr. Lhind Pratt if he had been “niggardly” in his valuation, Mr. Pinsent said that he thought he had been “the other way.” In reply to Mr. Laskey, Mr. Pinsent said he agreed there was no area in Torquay comparable to the land in question. … … Mr. Laskey remarked that Torquay Corporation’s case was that the price of the land must be limited by a provision in the contract governing the development as to the type of house and number of houses to the acre in case the price fixed by the arbitrator was not acceptable to them. According to Mr. Pinsent, other areas at greater distance from the sea were valued higher than the land under discussion. It would be a gross injustice to his clients to accept Mr. Pinsent’s figures. The arbitration then closed.

Torquay Land Inquiry: Nearly 4 Acres South for Open Spaces: Proposed Purchase: Corporation and Agreement with Company: The value to be placed on a piece of land in the vicinity of Avenue Road, Torquay, which the Torquay Corporation propose to purchase as a public open space was the subject which engaged the attention of an official arbitrator, Mr. John Willmot, of Birmingham at the Torquay Town Hall today. The arbitration was in respect of part of the Devon Rosery and Fruit Farm Limited’s land, nearly four acres in extent … (long discussion) … Mr. Adams added that the increase in the value of land in Torquay in recent years had been enormous. He quoted figures in support of this contention and added that his valuation of the land was £12,000. He considered that the land could be best developed by a roadway extending northwards for Walnut Road about 570 feet, which would allow for two frontages on Walnut Road. Mr. Lhing Pratt: In your view Avenue Road is becoming the centre of Torbay? Yes: Niggardly Valuation: Mr. R. W. H. Pinsent (sic), valuer of Plymouth, called b Mr. Lhind Pratt, said in his plan of development of the land he had allowed for a road similar to that suggested by Mr. Adams, Except that it would be shorter and would cost £1,295, instead of £2,000. He valued the land at £5,100. Mr. Lhind Pratt: In arriving at your valuation, have you been niggardly? – I think I have been the other way. Mr. Pinsent agreed with Mr. Laskey that there was no area in Torquay comparable to the one in question … (continues) … Mr. Laskey … How as it that, according to Mr. Pinsent, other areas further from the sea and railways were valued higher than the land in question? To accept Mr. Pinsent’s figures would, he submitted, be a gross injustice on his clients. The arbitration was closed.

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.
