i. The use no longer serves the needs of the community in which it is located;

ii. There is adequate alternative provision within the Neighbourhood Area which has the capacity to meet the needs of the community which the facility previously served; and

iii. The applicant has been unable to secure in consultation with the local community an appropriate alternative community use and it can be demonstrated that the use of the building or land as a community facility is no longer viable.

Proposals for the shared use of community facilities will be supported.
