Purpose

To consider a nomination from Pamber Parish
Council to list The Pelican as an Asset of Community Value.

Decision

To add The Pelican to the Council’s list
of Assets of Community Value.

Reasons for the decision

The nomination of The Pelican
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 (Pamber Parish Council) is
a qualifying nominator with a local connection under Section
89(2)(b) of the Localism Act.
The asset is well
used by the local community and attracts visitors from further
afield. It offers a wide range of opportunities for social
interaction and community engagement, which contribute positively
to wellbeing and community cohesion.
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
