Purpose

This report relates to an application made to
the Council by ‘Save
the Railway (Ashford)’ (“the Nominator”) to
nominate The Railway
Hotel, (formerly The Augustus John public house), 116 Station
Road, Fordingbridge, Hants, SP6 1DG (“the Property”) as
an asset
of community value (“the Application”). The report
reviews the
Application, the criteria against which a decision must be
made,
the result of consultations and makes recommendations

Decision

In the opinion of the local authority, whilst
the actual current
use of the building or other land does further the social
wellbeing or social interests of the local community, the
land
is exempt as stated in Schedule 1 of the Assets of
Community Value (England) Regulations 2012 and is not of
community value and therefore may not be listed.

It does not therefore meet the criteria set out in the
Localism
Act 2011 to be eligible for listing
