Decision
Successful
Reason for decision
The Local Authority considers that s.88(1) (a) and (b) of the Localism Act 2011 are satisfied (notwithstanding any break in use due to Covid-19) and therefore do not have a discretion not to list the asset.
The reasons are as follows:
An actual current use of the building or other land that is not an ancillary use furthers the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community, and
The premises has operated as a cricket ground for many years and offers regular (weekly) community cricket matches/leisure facilities.
s.88(6) of the Localism Act 2011 defines social interests to include in particular, recreational and sporting interests. Therefore, the use of the premises as a cricket ground meets the criteria in s.88 in that it furthers the social wellbeing or interests of the local community
