Assets of Community Value

You can list your pub as an Asset of Community Value

If you love your local pub and think it adds value to your local community, then why not list it as an Asset of Community Value? A listing can be applied for through your local council.

Since 2012 community groups across England have listed thousands of pubs this way. This means that if the pub comes up for sale as a development opportunity, the community will be notified and given the first opportunity to bid to buy the pub. 

A listing can also be an important consideration in deciding the outcome of a planning application for change of use, which could prevent planning permission being granted and save the pub!
