My amendment is straightforward. It proposes adding assets of community value to paragraph B.1 of Part 11 of Schedule 2 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, which already has a list of other buildings that cannot be demolished through permitted development rights. It used to be that only a pub could not be demolished without specific planning consent. In 2020 and 2021—this may be encouraging for the noble Earl, Lord Clancarty—places such as concert halls, venues for live music performance, theatres and a variety of other things were added. Assets of community value deserve to be added too, and I considered whether sports facilities should be included.
