Decision details

Request for the inclusion of buildings on the Council's register of assets of community value

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

I have made an assessment of a nomination from CAMRA Cheltenham Branch against the criteria set out in s.88 of the Localism Act to have The St Pauls Tavern in the borough designated as “Asset of Community Value”.

 

This nomination meets the criteria to be an asset of community value and will be placed on Cheltenham Borough Council’s list of successful nominations.

 

Reasons for the decision:

The council has recently received a nomination from CAMRA Cheltenham Branch to have a local pub in the borough designated as “Asset of Community Value”

 

The nominations was as follows:

·         The St. Pauls Tavern

 

Buildings

Owner

Recommendation

St. Pauls Tavern

Fever Property Ltd

There is good evidence that when open, St. Pauls Tavern furthered the social wellbeing and social interests of the local community, that this was the main and non-ancillary use of the premises. The comments from the owner have been noted, but there still remains the possibility that the qualifying use could be achieved within the next five years.

 

This nomination therefore meets the criteria to be an asset of community value and will be placed on Cheltenham Borough Council’s list of successful nomination

 

 

Alternative options considered:

None

Other reasons / organisations consulted

I met with the Strategy and Engagement Manager to review the ten nominations. The nomination was 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 me in this decision.
