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
Land Registry title plan 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.
