Purpose

To consider adding The Fox Inn to the
Council’s list of Assets of Community Value.

Decision

To add the Fox Inn to the Council’s list
of Assets of Community Value.

Reasons for the decision

The nomination of The Fox Inn
meets the criteria to be listed as an Asset of Community Value
under the legislation relating to Community Right to Bid, in
that:

The nominating
organisation (North Waltham Parish Council) is a qualifying
nominator with a local connection under Section 89(2)(b) of the
Localism Act.
The asset is an
important community hub within the town, which offers a wide range
of opportunities for social interaction and community engagement
that help to increase wellbeing and community cohesion and is
valued by local residents as well as those from further
afield.

It is realistic to think that
there can continue to be non-ancillary use of the Asset that would
further (whether or not in the same way as before) the social
wellbeing or social interests of the local
community. 

Alternative options considered

None – the nomination
meets the criteria to be listed as an Asset of Community
Value
