How the Community Right to Bid works

Re-nominating and relisting

Re-nomination of the same land previously not listed as an Asset of Community Value

There may be occasions where nominations were unsuccessful and there is interest in re-nominating the same asset again. A piece of land or building can only be re-nominated where a community group is able to demonstrate that something material has changed which would be more likely to make the second listing decision successful.

Relisting of existing or lapsed Assets of Community Value

In the event that a nomination is received by East Suffolk Council for an Asset of Community Value that is either coming to the end of its current listing, or for an asset whose listing has lapsed, additional information is required within the nomination form. This is to take in to account any circumstantial changes that may have occurred since the previous listing.

Evidence submitted for previous listings (for example from 5 years ago) will not automatically be considered during the consultation and therefore nominators should fully state their case for a listing.

It is the responsibility of the nominating group to ensure that all relevant information is provided to East Suffolk Council.

Examples of evidence may include thorough community consultation and details/examples of current and recent use from the entire community. Further details and examples can be found in the nomination form.
