Consultation has concluded

Oxfordshire County Council (OCC)’s Community Asset Transfer (CAT) and Community Leasing policies seek to recognise and maximise the benefits of the devolution of assets to local communities. It seeks to do this by transferring the ownership or leasing OCC owned properties to community groups in recognition of the social value that they generate. The two policies are very similar, but deal with different types of contracts:

Community Asset Transfer is about transferring the ownership of land or buildings from OCC to a community organisation at less than “best consideration” – that is less than full market value – in order to achieve a public benefit.

Community Leasing follows the same principles, but refers to the leasing of land of buildings a less than best consideration, in order to achieve a public benefit.


These draft policies set out how we intend to do this, as well as including the ‘Full Application’ form that community groups who intend to apply for a CAT or Community Lease would need to fill out. We welcome your feedback on the draft policies through this survey. The closing date for responses is Monday 9th March.

Furthermore, we will be running an online webinar session on Thursday 5th March, 09:30 - 11:00, so that we can hear further feedback and thoughts on the draft policies. If you would like to attend this online event, please sign up via the booking form.
