Minutes:
The report of the Strategic Director, Corporate Resources (Document “P”) was presented to the committee following the receipt on of a nomination on 26 July 2019 to list the property known as the Sun Inn (public house) as an Asset of Community Value under the Localism Act 2011.
Provisions under the act allow communities the time to prepare bids for land and property assessed as being of benefit to the community when assets come up for disposal. Both privately and publicly owned land can be nominated by local community groups and parish councils. The list of assets was maintained by CBMDC which managed the process that determined whether a nomination was successful.
Once listed, asset owners would be required to notify the Council if they intended to sell. This notification triggered a six week moratorium on disposal during which local community groups and parish councils could express an interest in bidding for the property. In order for a property or asset to be defined as an Asset of Community Value, it had to be realistic that it’s primary use furthered social wellbeing or social interests of the local community and would continue to do so.
Officers had assessed the nomination measuring it against set criteria and found that it met three out of four, thus meeting the requirement. Property owners had rights to appeal the decision and could ask the Council to review its decision and pending the outcome of their internal review, the owner could then appeal to the First Tier Tribunal.
Resolved –
That the nomination of the property known as Sun Inn be approved as an Asset of Community value.
