Decision details

This report relates to an application made to the Council by The Fordingbridge Museum Trust (“the Nominator”) to nominate the Old Granary Building (“the Granary”) and conjoining Storage Block (“the Storage Block”) – together they will be referred to as “the Property” - King’s Yard, Fordingbridge SP6 1AB 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, the actual current use of the Old Granary Building does further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community, and it is realistic to think that there can be non-ancillary use of the Old Granary Building which will further (whether or not in the same way) the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community.

It therefore does meet the criteria set out in the Localism Act 2011 and so is eligible for listing.

The application for the Storage Block should not be accepted as it does not further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community, and it is not realistic to think that there can 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.
