What is the Community Asset Rent Off Setting
Scheme?
It is an initiative where the Council can offer a grant to
off-set the amount of rent you pay us if your organisation rents or
leases buildings or land from us.
Do we qualify?
If you can demonstrate that your organisation contributes to the
economic, social and community well-being of the district and its
residents, then we can offer you a grant to help reduce the amount
you pay. At present the scheme off-sets the payable rent to £150 a
year. The scheme is currently under review and the target rent may
be adjusted in the 2012/2013 financial year.
What kind of things would contribute to the wellbeing of the
district?
Your organisation would need to demonstrate that it contributed
to:
Here are just a few examples:
- Increasing participation in sports, leisure or cultural
activities,
- Helping keep the community safe
- Giving children and young people a good start in life
- Helping the disadvantaged

We will continue to review the scheme every year to check that
it continues to support the priorities for the district and that
rent levels are appropriate. You will not need to re-apply every
year and your rent reviews and/or lease renewals will continue at
the same time as they have done
before. |
