That Plainmoor Football Stadium be re-listed on the Council’s Register of Assets of Community Value for a further five-year period, commencing from 15 September 2025.

The nomination to list Plainmoor Football Stadium reflects strong public support and demonstrates that residents value the stadium as a community asset.  Having assessed the nomination against the statutory criteria under the Localism Act 2011, the nomination was found to meet the requirements for re-listing.

The options were:

Option 1 - Approve the nomination and re-list Plainmoor Stadium as an Asset of Community Value.

Option 2 - Refuse the nomination.

This decision will come into force and may be implemented on 1 December 2025 unless the call-in procedure is triggered (as set out in the Standing Orders in relation to Overview and Scrutiny).

The Council has received a nomination to re-list Plainmoor Football Stadium as an Asset of Community Value for a further five-year period.  The stadium was included on the Council’s register of successful nominations; however, the existing listing expired on 31 March 2025.  The asset continues to meet the statutory criteria set out in the Localism Act 2011 and the Assets of Community Value (England) Regulations 2012.

At the meeting Councillor Jackie Thomas proposed and Councillor Tranter seconded a motion that was agreed unanimously by the Cabinet, as set out above.
