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 unsuccessful community
nominations.  A building or other land
is of community value if having regard to the Act (section 88 in
particular) 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 the 13
July 2023, an application was received by the Council for the
application for Cricklewood Greenspace, Broadway Retail Park,
Cricklewood Lane, NW2 1ES to be listed as an Asset of Community
Value (ACV)
