1 Review Request: Former St Ninian’s Church Hall to Ferguslie Community Development Trust
Report by the Director of Finance & Resources.
1

There was submitted a report by the Director of Finance & Resources relative to a review request submitted in respect of a Community Asset Transfer (CAT) application for the lease of the former St Ninians Church Hall to Ferguslie Community Development Trust (FCDT) under Part 5 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015. The report contained information pertaining to the original application, the decision to refuse the application and review documentation. It was noted that the application had been refused at the meeting of the Community Asset Transfer Sub-committee held on 21 January 2026 due to the lack of community support demonstrated and concerns around the sustainability of the proposed business plan. 

 

The Managing Solicitor (Litigation & Advice) outlined the process to be followed by the Panel including the options available in terms of the decision to be taken. 

 

The Panel was asked to consider whether enough information had been provided to allow the review to be determined at this meeting. It was unanimously agreed that this was the case and that no further information was required.

 

During consideration of the application discussion took place around the business plan which had been submitted in support of the application; the projected finances and sustainability of the project; the level of community engagement and support for the application; and progress of the project since the application was initially submitted.

 

Councillor Hughes proposed that the decision taken by the Community Asset Transfer Sub-committee to refuse the application be confirmed. This was agreed unanimously.

 

DECIDED: That the decision taken by the Community Asset Transfer Sub-committee to refuse the application be confirmed.
