Community asset transfer requests received
This page is currently in the process of being updated, please refer to the main Community Asset Transfer page for latest applications and information.
CAT Stage 1 and Stage 2 applications in progress
Stage 1 of our Community Asset Transfer process is an expression of interest which allows us to check title and collate information which is useful to the community transfer body in developing a business plan. A Ward Officer is also allocated to support the group at this point.
Stage 2 involves a formal application accompanied by the community transfer body's business case, which will give an indication of social return on investment and a financial plan demonstrating how the community transfer body will sustain the running of the property.
There are currently 53 applications in progress:
