How to nominate an ACV?

Only members of the following groups can nominate ACVs (see our  Nomination Form Guidance [313.32KB] for definitions):

  1. Parish Councils
  2. Neighbouring Parish Councils
  3. 'Unincorporated Groups'
  4. Neighbourhood Forums
  5. Community Interest Groups with a local connection.

How to nominate

To nominate a building or land for an ACV, complete our  Nomination Form [80.55KB] using the Guidance Notes [313.32KB] and return the form to communityassets@guildford.gov.uk.

To provide confirmation of their status, applicants submitting nominations on behalf of parish councils are also asked for:

  • an appropriately signed or headed covering letter and;
  • proof that the parish council has agreed to nominate the asset in accordance with its procedures. For example, the minutes of a parish council meeting where a vote was taken to nominate the asset

We will make a decision after consulting those involved, including the landowner, any freehold or leaseholders and the parish council. Please note that we are required to share application information, including nomination forms, with statutory consultees. Contact details included on completed nomination forms will only be removed at the applicant's request.

After your nomination form has been checked to make sure it's complete, we will let you know of our decision within eight weeks.

The result will be published on our website, whether it is successful or unsuccessful.
