The Area Committee considered a nomination received in response to the Community Right to Bid provisions of the Localism Act 2012 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 A34on the list of assets of community value.

The Area Committee has determined 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.
