Decision details

To approve the request for the inclusion of the Ryeworth Inn, the Kings Arms, and the Kemble Brewery Inn as buildings on the Council’s register of assets of community value as assessed against criteria set out in s.88 of the Localism Act

The council has recently received a set of nominations from CAMRA to have three local pubs in the borough designated as “Assets of Community Value”

The nominations were as follows:

•          Ryeworth Inn, 58-60 Ryeworth Road, Charlton Kings, Cheltenham;

•          Kings Arms, 140 Gloucester Road, Cheltenham;

•          Kemble Brewery Inn, 27 Fairview Street, Cheltenham.

None

The Deputy Chief Executive met with the Strategy and Engagement Manager to review the three nominations. The nominations were assessed against the following set of criteria:

A.         Is the nominating organisation eligible?

B.         Can the nominating organisation demonstrate a local connection to the asset?

C.        Does the nomination include the information requested on the nomination form?

D.        If the asset is outside one of the categories of exempt assets, as set out in schedule 1 of the regulations?

E.         Is there evidence of the use being described in the nomination, and that this is the main and non-ancillary use of the land or premises, or this has been its use within the last 5 years?

F.         Does this use further the social wellbeing and social interests of the local community?

G.        Could the asset realistically continue to be used for this, or another qualifying community purpose (or could this be achieved within the next five years)?

The Strategy and Engagement Manager supported the Deputy Chief Executive in her decision
