Assets of Community Value
What is an Asset of Community Value?
This Community Right (sometimes called the Community Right to Buy or Community Right to Bid allows defined community groups, to ask the Council to list certain assets as being of community value. This is designed to give communities more opportunities to take control of the assets and facilities important to them. If an asset is listed and then comes up for sale, the new right will give communities that want it a total of 6 months to put together a bid to buy it (including a 6-week cut-off for an initial proposal to be put forward).
Who can nominate?
The following organisations are eligible to nominate assets.
- Parish Councils
- Neighbouring Parish Councils
- Unincorporated groups
- Neighbourhood forums
- Community interest groups with a local connection.
How to make a Community Nomination
A decision on whether to list an asset will be made within 8 weeks of the receipt of a completed eligible nomination form. The asset will then be placed on a list of successful and unsuccessful nominations on the Council website.
If you are interested in pursuing the nomination of an asset, please apply in writing to the Council's Chief Executive.
