Actually, no one could trace the owner of the land even if they wanted to, the ownership was buried deep in false names in offshore companies.
The Owners were and most likely still are Maurice and Donna Nixon. Information readily available from the Land Registry.
They were only mentioned for the very first time when Mr Waldron secured the option in this land.
Prior to this, the only name listed in terms of ownership was Mr David Taylor, of Worcester.
But any address listed for him turned out to be false, and further digging only took one as far as David Taylor (Worcester) Ltd, listed in the Cayman Islands I recall.
