Common Good asset changes

Disposal of or change of use of common good assets

The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 stipulates that a local authority must conduct a consultation process before deciding whether or not to dispose of or change the use of common good assets.

This ensures that we are transparent about what we are doing and allow communities to be involved. Community councils and community bodies will be notified directly and invited to make representations when there is a proposal to dispose of or change the use of common good assets. The proposal will also be widely publicised and available for other public representations to respond. We must respond to any representations made and take them into account, or have 'regard', when making a decision on the proposal.
