Community right to bid

A building or land has ‘community value’ if, in the opinion of the council:

• the current main (non-ancillary) use of the building or land furthers the social interests or social wellbeing of the local community
• it is realistic to think that there can continue to be a main use of the building or land that will further the social interests or social wellbeing of the local community, although not necessarily in the same way
• the main use of the building or land in the recent past furthered the social interests or social wellbeing of the local community and it is realistic to think that the building or land can be brought back into use in the future
