    3: Residential properties and gardens of residential properties have been included which are not considered to be assets of community value

    The Welcome Stranger
    55 Sedlescombe Road North
    St Leonards on Sea
    TN37 7DA
    As Section 88 of the Act indicates, in order for land to be considered of community value there must be a current non-ancillary use which furthers the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community. A number of the reasons provided by the nominating body and listed above are ancillary to the main activity of the pub which is the sale of alcohol. There is no compelling evidence of substantial community use or wellbeing as required under the legislation and Government guidance. Where evidence has been provided they did not show that the community usage was any greater than what would be otherwise provided by 9 other public houses within 1 mile radius.
    Former power station site, including land to the south of the former power station, Ore Valley(i) restricted public access to part of the nominated area;
    (ii) limited duration of the activities which have taken place;
    (iii) uncertainty that activities which contribute to community wellbeing or community interest can realistically take place on the whole of the nominated area beyond February 2018;
    (iv) the whole of the nominated area cannot remain as an asset of community value once housing has been developed on part of the site.
    The Observer Building, 53 Cambridge Road, Hastings, TN34 1ELThe former Observer building does not meet the definition of an asset of community value contained in the Localism Act 2011 In view of:
    (i) the restricted public access to part of the nominated area,
    (ii) the limited duration of the activities which have taken place,
    (iii) the uncertainty that activities which contribute to community wellbeing or community interest can realistically take place on the whole of the nominated area, these points together indicate that it is not realistic to assume that the use of the whole of the nominated area (whether or not in the same way) will contribute the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community over the next 5 years
    "Speckled Wood" - Land off Graystone Lane1. Insufficient detailed evidence was submitted to justify the inclusion of the area of land;
    2. Activities taking place within the land are ancillary to the main use of the land;
    3. Due to the nominated land not being considered to be an existing asset of community value it is therefore not considered realistic for it to continue to be used for the social wellbeing or social interest of the local community.
    Queens Arcade1. Insufficient detailed evidence was submitted to justify the inclusion of the arcade;
    2. Reasons given to support listing are ancillary to the main use of the asset as a commercial unit;
    3. There is no evidence to support that community usage would be greater than for other commercial units within the town centre;
    4. Due to the nominated not being considered to be an existing asset of community value it is therefore not considered realistic for it to continue to be used for the social wellbeing or social interest of the local community.
