Purpose

The
purpose of this decision is to decide whether the land/building
should be included as an asset of community value
(“ACV”) on the Council’s register of
ACVs.
 
On 14
March 2024 a nomination was received from Elsworth Parish Council
in respect of The
Poacher Public House, Brockley Road, Elsworth CB23 4JS.
This is a re-nomination of an asset that is due to be removed from
the list on 07 June 2024 in accordance with the legislation
following expiry of the listing.
 
Following consideration of the nomination, Notice of Nomination
was sent Cllrs Peter Sandford and Cllr Mark Howell (for the
district Ward of Caxton & Papworth), to the Parish Council
acknowledging their nomination and to the owner and occupiers. The
nomination was publicised through the weekly bulletin and the Lead
Member for Communities was notified.

Content

Officers have considered the nomination along with the feedback
received following issue of Notices of Nomination, and are
satisfied that the non-ancillary and current
use of the asset as detailed in the
nomination form and accompanying map does further the social
well-being, or cultural recreational or sporting interests of the
local community.  It is also considered
realistic to think there can continue to be non-ancillary use of
the asset which will further the social interests of the local
community. Therefore, it can be accepted, in accordance with
Section 88 (1) of the Localism Act 2011.
