Assets of Community Value and The Community Right to Bid - what happens after a nomination is made?
Once we have received the completed form we will check it's eligibility and a report will be taken to the Council's Finance & Policy Committee with a recommendation to either approve or reject the nomination. If it is decided that the property does have community value it will be added to the List of Assets of Community Value. Assets will remain on the list for five years and a land charge will be registered against the property, if it is registered with the Land Registry. We aim to assess nominations within eight weeks of receipt.
You will be advised that the property has been listed and the date in five years time when it will be removed. When the five years have expired you can submit a new nomination.
If we decide to list a property the property owner can ask for a review and there will be a process for an appeal. Further guidance will be provided in the letter to the property owner.
We will notify the nominee should the nomination be ineligible and provide an explanation as to why it was unsuccessful.
Nominees are not able to appeal the decision made in respect of the property, however, a complaint can be made if you feel we have not followed the correct procedure, through the Council's Complaint Procedure.
A full list of nominations, both successful and unsuccessful, can be viewed on the List of Assets of Community Value.
