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 24
October 2024 a nomination was received from Toft Parish Council in
respect of Toft People’s Hall, School
Lane, Toft, Cambridge, CB23 2RE. This is a re-nomination of an
asset that is due to be removed from the list on 19 December 2024
in accordance with the legislation following expiry of the
listing.
 
Following consideration of the nomination, Notice of Nomination
was sent Cllr Lina Nieto, (for the district Ward of Hardwick) and
to the Parish Council acknowledging their nomination and who are
also owners of the asset. The nomination was publicised through the
Council’s Parish e-bulletin and the Lead Member for
Communities was notified.

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.
