Decision details

This report relates to an application made to the Council by Lymington & Pennington Town Council (“the Nominator”) to nominate Pennington County Infants’ School, 1A Priestlands Road, Pennington, Lymington SO41 8HX (“the Property”) as an asset of community value (“the Application”). The report reviews the Application, the criteria against which a decision must be made, the result of consultations and makes recommendations.

In the opinion of the local authority, whilst the actual current use of the Property does further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community, it is not realistic to think that there can continue to be non-ancillary use of the building or other land which will further (whether or not in the same way) the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community.

It therefore does not meet the criteria set out in the Localism Act 2011 and so is not eligible for listing.
