A representative of the Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) detailing a nomination received in response to the Community Right to Bid provisions of the Localism Act 2011 from the ‘Trustees of Cheadle Hulme Community Group and Civic Trust’ for the inclusion of land between Cheadle Hulme School / Woking Road/ St James School and the A34 on the list of assets of community value.

The Area Committee was of the view that the application land was within the Local Authority’s area and did not fall within one of exemptions specified in the Regulation.

It was then

MOVED AND SECONDED - That the application land situated between Cheadle Hulme School / Woking Road/ St James School and the A34 be listed on the grounds that the assets main use (that is not ancillary) has recently been or is presently being used to further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community and could reasonably do so in the future.

For the motion 2, against 5.

MOTION NOT CARRIED

It was then

RESOLVED - that while the land in question was within the Local Authority’s area and did not fall within one of exemptions specified in the Regulations; it did not agree that the asset’s main use (i.e. not ancillary) has recently been or was presently being used to further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community and could reasonably do so in the future (i.e. within the next five years).  The proposal did not, therefore, satisfy the requirements of the Regulations and it was consequently determined that the asset should not be listed as an asset of community value.
