Decision

Unsuccessful

Reason for decision

Due to the pub's closure, an actual, current use of the building or other land that is not an ancillary use furthers the social wellbeing and social interests of the local community, pursuant to s.88(1)(a) does not exist.

Therefore, s.88(1)(b) will not be considered.

S.88(2) is the relevant section that applies. This relates to a building or land that is not of community value as a result of subsection (1) (as in this instance), is land of community value if in the opinion of the local authority;

(a) there is a time in the recent past when an actual use of the building or other land that was not an ancillary use furthered the social wellbeing or interests of the local community.

There is insufficient evidence contained in the nomination to conclude that there is a time in the recent past when an actual use of the building or other land that was not an ancillary use furthered the social wellbeing or interests of the local community.

Therefore, the requirement of s.88(2)(a) is not met, s.88(2) (b) does not apply, and therefore the nomination is unsuccessful.
