ACVNF31 Bridge Recreation Ground Bridge, CT4 5BL Bridge Parish Council Yes 25 November 2019 N/A

ACVFN26 The Swan Inn pub 11 High Street, Sturry, CT2 0BD Sturry Parish Council No  
It is the council's opinion that The Swan does not meet both parts of the test in that there is no current or recent use of the building which furthered the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community, given that it has now been closed for five years.
ACVFN25 Chestfield play area Chestfield Road, Chestfield, CT5 3JS Chestfield Parish Council Yes 15 February 2018 N/A
ACVFN23 Radfall recreation ground Chestfield Road, CT5 3LS Chestfield Parish Council Yes 31 October 2017 N/A
ACVFN21 Whitstable Labour Club 12 Belmont Road, Whitstable, CT5 1QP Unincorporated group Yes 21 March 2017 N/A
ACVFN20 The Oval Sea Wall, Whitstable, CT5 1AN Whitstable Society No 1 March 2016 Based on the information provided in the nomination, it is the council's opinion that recent use of the land; namely the activities conducted by protest groups and, previously, for boat storage by Whitstable Yacht Club - does not meet the first part of the statutory test.       

The second part of the statutory test, also does not appear to be met. The council has entered into a binding contract to sell the site which prevents any non-ancillary use which could further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community.
ACVFN19 The Ship Centurion pub 111 High Street, Whitstable, CT5 1AY CAMRA Yes 12 January 2016 N/A
ACVFN18 The Red Lion pub Stodmarsh Road, Stodmarsh, CT3 4BA CAMRA Yes   N/A
ACVFN17 The Haywain pub Canterbury Road, Bramling, CT3 1NB CAMRA No 12 October 2015 The nominator states that this is the only pub in the village. However, the pub actually serves a very small hamlet, comprised of just 35 houses. The nearest village is one mile away, with two pubs. The council's view is that on balance, this does not provide a sufficient contribution to social or community wellbeing to warrant listing.
ACVFN16 The Chequers Inn pub Stone Street, Petham, CT4 5PW CAMRA Yes 12 October 2015

15 May 2019 - Notice of sale received from owner. 

Public notice issued and nominating body informed.
ACVFN15 The Black Robin pub Covet Lane, Kingston, CT4 6HS CAMRA Yes 12 October 2015 N/A
ACVFN14 The Chapter Arms pub New Town Street, Chartham Hatch, CT4 7LT CAMRA No 12 October 2015 The Chapter Arms was removed from the register, following a successful appeal made by the owner.       

12/09/2019 - Reconsidered following a nomination from Chartham Parish Council. Not listed as unable to demonstrate community benefit in the recent past - as a result of being closed for over 2 years and the previous decision to remove from the list.
ACVFN13 The Hop Pocket pub The Street, Bossingham, CT4 6DY CAMRA Yes 10 August 2015 N/A
ACVFN12 The Mermaid Inn pub The Street, Bishopsbourne, CT4 5HX CAMRA Yes 10 August 2015 N/A

ACVFN7 Whitstable delivery office 134 Cromwell Road, Whitstable, CT5 2AA Transition Town Whitstable No 14 January 2015 The Royal Mail is a statutory undertaker which means that land owned by them is deemed to be operational land by virtue of s263 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990; this land is exempt from nomination as a community asset.
ACVFN6A Kingsmead Field - designated open space Canterbury, CT2 7PW Canterbury Society Yes 26 September 2014 N/A
ACVFN6B Kingsmead Field - housing land Canterbury, CT2 7PW Canterbury Society No 26 September 2014 The land does not pass part of the legislative test, as the council's view is that it is not realistic to think the land can continue to further social wellbeing or social interests; as a result of a series of previous decisions which have consistently maintained that this piece of land be retained for residential development.
ACVFN5 Church Meadow Brewery Lane, Bridge, CT4 5LD Bridge Parish Council No 7 March 2014 Although the asset does contribute to the social wellbeing of the local community (for example, the village fireworks display) this is ancillary to its primary purpose for livestock grazing.
ACVFN4 St Peter's Parish Church High Street, Bridge, CT4 5AR Bridge Parish Council No 7 March 2014 Although the asset does contribute to the social wellbeing of the local community, this is included in its primary role as a centre of worship.
