  • Turf Moor Into Burnley Borough Council’S List of Assets of Community Value

Background On 27th March 2019, Burnley Council received a nomination under Section 89 of the Localism Act 2011 (“the Act”) to list Turf Moor as an Asset of Community Value. The nomination was made by The Clarets Trust. A map setting out the boundaries of the asset nominated to be listed (“The Asset”) is provided as an appendix to this notice. Under Section 87 of the Act the Council must maintain a list of assets of community value. Section 88 of the Act states that: (1) For the purposes of this Chapter but subject to regulations under subsection (3), a building or other land in a local authority’s area is land of community value if in the opinion of the authority— (a) an actual current use of the building or other land that is not an ancillary use furthers the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community, and (b) it is 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. (2) For the purposes of this Chapter but subject to regulations under subsection (3), a building or other land in a local authority’s area that is not land of community value as a result of subsection (1) 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, and (b) it is 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 as before) the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community.
