MM28 removes the commitment to relocate the Sports and Social club with the new clubhouse within 340 metres of the existing location, in favour of an undisclosed location or anywhere else within the "green buffer to the west of the site". This also removes protection for the rest of the green buffer as it could allow for development to spread further from the proposed development site.

Negative aspects of this relocation for an established Sports and Social club are not adequately reflected in the Assessment of Effects (eg. under 1. Balanced Communities it is given a "+" where it is not obvious how committing to build a new club in an unknown location can generate the conclusion that "this will have positive consequences for the local community". It is also biased to say that it gives the "opportunity to provide the facility in a location that best serves the needs of the community". It already is in the place that best serves the needs of the community and it is very likely that they don't want it moved in the first place...

Under "8. Landscape and Townscape" it is not clear why it has been judged as "?" when there has been a clear view taken on other aspects such as "1. Balanced Communities". The fact that there is uncertainty as to where the new Sports and Social Club will be located is a clear negative for its users.

MM28 should be rejected so there is a clear commitment to keep it "within 340 metres of the existing location" to ensure it remains in the location where it has best served the needs of the community for many years.
