The CLG Commons Select Committee has called for changes to community powers, with more time for local people to acquire potential assets of community value, greater clarity over the ‘right to reclaim land’ powers and the integration of ‘right to build’ within the neighbourhood planning process.
A video featuring interviews with people who have been through the right to bid process, and views of members of the CLG committee has been posted online, together with minutes of the meeting and the full report of proceedings. The video includes footage of the first public house to be bought by local people using the community right to bid powers (The Ivy House in London).
