Purpose

The Localism Act 2011(“the Act”)
introduced the Community Right to Bid (“CRTB”). Under
sections 87 and 93 of the Act the Council must maintain a list of
assets of community value in its area and a list of land nominated
by unsuccessful community nominations. 
A building or other land is of community value if having regard to
the Act and the Assets of Community Value (England) (Regulations
2012 in the Council’s opinion there is an actual current use
of the building or other land, which is not an ancillary use, which
furthers the social wellbeing or social interests of the local
community, and it is realistic to think that there can continue to
be non-ancillary use of the building or other land which will
further (whether or not in the same way) the social wellbeing or
social interests of the local community.
On 24 September 2025, an
application was received by the Council for the application for
Former Quinta Youth Club & Village Green, Mays Lane, EN5 2AP to
be listed as an Asset of Community Value (ACV)
