answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>My Department has not published guidance specifically for local authorities on the process of asset transferring of playing pitches to community sports clubs. However, we have developed over the years a series of guidance and resources to support local authorities and community groups through the process of asset transfer, management and ownership of important community assets such as local sport facilities. The <a href="http://www.mycommunity.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.mycommunity.org.uk/</a> website holds a wealth of resources on asset transfer and includes a legal process map: <a href="https://mycommunity.org.uk/resources/community-asset-transfer-legal-process-map/" target="_blank">https://mycommunity.org.uk/resources/community-asset-transfer-legal-process-map/</a> and case studies to help local authorities and community groups navigate through complex issues. A useful case study of the transfer of Mitcham Cricket Green can be found at: <a href="https://mycommunity.org.uk/case_study/mitcham-cricket-green-conservation-area-conducting-asset-transfers-in-difficult-private-ownership/" target="_blank">https://mycommunity.org.uk/case_study/mitcham-cricket-green-conservation-area-conducting-asset-transfers-in-difficult-private-ownership/</a>.</p><p>Sport England also publishes non-statutory guidance on how organisations can undertake community asset transfer. Guidance and a toolkit can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/community-asset-transfer/about/" target="_blank">https://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/community-asset-transfer/about/</a>. Sport England’s asset transfer toolkit provides information on six areas:</p><ol><li>Understanding Asset Transfer</li><li>Getting Started</li><li>Getting Transfer Ready</li><li>Taking a Stake in an Asset</li><li>Property Development</li><li>Premises Management</li></ol><p>This toolkit complements the free guidance on Sport England’s Club Matters website which is designed for community sports clubs which may be looking at asset transfer for their own club’s development.
