Decision details

a) The change of use planning application site (The Cottage) is to be removed from the register of Assets of Community Value.

b) The remaining site (The Blacksmith’s Arms, Flaxton) is to remain on the register of Assets of Community Value.

The Localism Act 2011 requires the council to consider all nominations for properties to be placed on the List of Assets of Community Value. The Council must also keep the list under review and remove assets as soon as practicable. This report ensures that the council reviews the original listing following a planning change of use approval affecting part of a property on the List of Assets of Community Value, as required by the Act.

Not to keep the List of assets of Community Value under review and remove assets as soon as practicable would not fulfil the council’s responsibilities required by the Localism Act 2011.
