Assets of community value
Find out more about what they are and how to nominate one.
Community assets are buildings or land that play an important role in local life. Under the Community Right to Bid (Localism Act, 2011), eligible organisations can nominate these assets to be listed as Assets of Community Value (ACVs), giving communities the chance to bid for them if they are put up for sale.
Who can nominate an asset?
You can nominate an asset if you are:
- a parish council
- a local voluntary or community group
- a charity or social enterprise operating in Lewisham
What can be nominated?
Assets that further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community, such as:
- community centres
- parks and open spaces
- sports facilities
- libraries
- pubs and social clubs
How to nominate
Download the application guidance below or complete the online nomination form. A Word version is also available if needed. You’ll need to provide:
- details of the asset
- title deeds or a picture identifying the exact boundaries of the asset you are nominating
- evidence of your organisation’s eligibility
- why the asset is important to the community, including any evidence you can gather to support your nomination – this could be letters of support or testimonials from community members, for example; please read the guidance and see the application form for more examples
What happens next?
We will:
