Nominate an asset of community value

Land or buildings are of community value if:

  • the main use furthers the social wellbeing and social interests of the community and this use can continue
  • they have been used to further the social wellbeing and interests of the community recently and they could do so again in the next 5 years.

You cannot nominate an asset for the listing if it is:

  • a residential property
  • land licensed for use as a residential caravan site
  • operational land of statutory undertakers.

Before you make a nomination

To nominate your community group:

  • you must have a local connection to the property
  • the group must have at least 21 members who are registered to vote in the Medway area
  • we suggest you first talk to the landowner who can tell you of any plans for the property.

Before you make a nomination, read the community right to bid guidance.
