uin	183930
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2018 answer text <p>It is for local authorities to determine if any building or land nominated by the local community meets the test of being an asset of community value. The scheme allows groups to nominate buildings or land for listing by their local authority if its principal use furthers their community’s social well-being. This can include cultural, sporting or recreational interests. Since the scheme was introduced in 2012, over 4,000 assets of community value have been listed across England. This includes over 30 football stadiums from across the football pyramid including St James Park.</p><p>The scheme seeks to balance the rights of private property owners with the interests of the community where the local authority agrees that the asset in question is an asset of community value.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 30/10/2018 14:50:52 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

Officials from HM Government and from each devolved administration have begun discussions and stakeholder events are being held across the UK, throughout the rest of this year.</p><p>We are continuing discussions to develop the Fund and final decisions on the operation and allocations of the Fund will be made as part of the 2019 Spending Review.</p><p>In the mean time, the Government understands that local authorities and places around the UK require certainty of funding post-Brexit. The draft Withdrawal Agreement guarantees that the UK will continue to take part in the 2014-2020 EU programmes until their conclusion. In a no deal scenario, the Government has extended this guarantee for the full EU 2014-20 programme period and allocations. This provides certainty and clarity in the event of a no-deal and allows for a smooth transition to a domestic replacement.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 30/10/2018 13:32:27 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
