Privacy notices - Community Asset Transfer Asset Transfer Request

In January 2017, the Community Empowerment Act extended communities' powers to participate in the delivery of services and take over management and ownership of Assets.  The process through which communities can take-over Assets is described as Community Asset Transfer.  Submitting a full Asset Transfer Request allows the Highland Council to assess a Community Transfer Body's application.  The information provided in the Asset Transfer Request will determine the Council's decision on whether to transfer an asset.

If you don't provide the mandatory information and supporting evidence on the Asset Transfer Request, we will be unable to assess your application.

The Council is processing your data as part of the Asset Transfer process as set out in the Community Empowerment Act.  Therefore, processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest [Article 6(1)(e) of GDPR].
