Community Asset Transfer Register - Scotland

This dataset is an amalgamation of data related to the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 and the new duties this places on local authorities.

Part 5: Asset Transfer Requests: Provides community bodies with a right to request to purchase, lease, manage or use land and buildings belonging to local authorities. Local authorities are required to create and maintain a register of land which they will make available to the public.

Part 8: Common Good Property: Places a statutory duty on local authorities to establish and maintain a register of all property held by them for the common good. It also requires local authorities to publish their proposals and consult community bodies before disposing of or changing the use of common good assets.

Part 9: Allotments: It requires local authorities to take reasonable steps to provide allotments if waiting lists exceed certain trigger points and strengthens the protection for allotments. Provisions allow allotments to be 250 square metres in size or a different size that is to be agreed between the person requesting an allotment and the local authority. The Act also requires fair rents to be set and allows tenants to sell surplus produce grown on an allotment (other than with a view to making a profit). There is a requirement for local authorities to develop a food growing strategy for their area, including identifying land that may be used as allotment sites and identifying other areas of land that could be used by a community for the cultivation of vegetables, fruit, herbs or flowers.

SG have provided useful guidance of what the register should contain and how it should be formatted (pages 21-23). https://dtascommunityownership.org.uk/sites/default/files/Asset%20Transfer%20RA%20Guidance%20Notes.pdf

本数据集汇集了与2015年《苏格兰社区赋权法案》及其对地方当局新职责的规定相关的数据。第五部分：资产转让请求：赋予社区组织请求购买、租赁、管理或使用地方当局拥有的土地和建筑的权利。地方当局有义务创建并维护一份土地登记册，并向公众提供。第八部分：公共福利财产：要求地方当局建立并维护一份包含其持有以公共福利为目的的所有财产的登记册。同时，要求地方当局在处置或改变公共福利资产的使用前，公布其计划并咨询社区组织。第九部分：土地分配：要求地方当局在等候名单超过特定触发点时，采取合理措施提供土地分配，并加强了土地分配的保护措施。规定允许土地分配面积为250平方米或由申请者与地方当局协商确定的其他面积。法案还要求设定公平的租金，并允许承租人出售在土地分配上种植的剩余农产品（但非以盈利为目的）。地方当局有义务为其地区制定一份食物种植策略，包括识别可能用作土地分配场所的土地，以及识别其他可用于社区种植蔬菜、水果、草本植物或花卉的土地。SG公司提供了有关登记册应包含的内容及其格式的有用指南（第21-23页）。[链接](https://dtascommunityownership.org.uk/sites/default/files/Asset%20Transfer%20RA%20Guidance%20Notes.pdf)（括号内为英文原文）
