Decision details

This report relates to an application made to the Council by ‘Save the Railway (Ashford)’ (“the Nominator”) to nominate The Railway Hotel, (formerly The Augustus John public house), 116 Station Road, Fordingbridge, Hants, SP6 1DG (“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

It is recommended that you as a Strategic Director, Corporate Resources
and Section 151 Officer of the Council decide this Application pursuant to
delegated powers as follows:

In the opinion of the local authority, whilst the actual current use of The Railway Hotel or other land does further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community, the land is exempt as stated in
Schedule 1 of the Assets of Community Value (England) Regulations 2012 and is not of community value and therefore may not be listed.

It does not therefore meet the criteria set out in the Localism Act 2011 to be eligible for listing.
