Decision details

1. This report relates to an application made to the Council by Fordingbridge Arts Network (“the Nominator”) to nominate the United Reformed Church, Salisbury Street, Fordingbridge SP6 1AB (“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 there is not 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 social interests of the local community, and it is not realistic to think that there is a time in the next five years when there could be non-ancillary use of the building or other land that would 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 to be eligible for listing.
