Purpose

The purpose of this
decision is to decide whether the land/buidling should be included
as an asset of community value (“ACV”) on the
Council’s register of ACVs.
 
On 28 May 2024 a
nomination was received from Bourn Parish Counci in respect of the
Jubilee Playing Field, Off Alms Hill, Bourn CB23 2SN This is a
re-nomination of an asset that was removed from the list when it
expired on 11/07/2024 in accordance with the legislation.
 
Following consideration of the nomination, Notice of Nomination
was sent to Cllr Dr Tumi Hawkins (for the district Ward of
Caldecote), and to the Parish Council acknowledging their
nomination. The nomination was publicised through the weekly
bulletin and the Lead Member for Communities was
notified.

Content

Officers have considered the 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 (and has
done in the past).  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.
