The legal requirement
Under section 123(2A) of the Local Government Act 1972, a council may not dispose of land consisting of or forming part of an open space unless it has first advertised its intention in a newspaper circulating in the area for two consecutive weeks and considered any objections received.
The same requirement applies under section 122(2A) when a council appropriates open space land to a different purpose. These provisions ensure public transparency in decisions affecting community land.
Additional publication requirements may arise under the Localism Act 2011 for assets of community value, where councils must notify the community of listing decisions and proposed disposals.
