The premises under the current ownership is unlikely to be viable for use in such a way that would further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community.
The nomination provided no evidence of a local group who could realistically purchase the premises and continue or repurpose its use it in such a way that would further the social wellbeing or social interests of the local community.
A planning application (ref: 20/01298/CT3) was approved last year and gained cabinet approval from November 2021. This application consists of demolishing the games hall and building 14 shared ownership housing units at the site. These are much needed and will help Oxford City Council to comply with housing policies and to provide housing to the local community. - Officer Report
