Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation

The club recognises that whilst the club does not object to a "whole site" option being considered as part of the overall Local Development Plan review process, it also makes no commitment to any development and reserves the right to comment and negotiate the development of any such plans which as a minimum would need to meet several conditions required by the club to be considered worthy of consideration and discussion with its members. These conditions would necessarily need to include the following:

* Tenure of the land occupied by the club comparable to existing arrangements i.e. Freehold, similar value, proximity for existing membership.
* Beneficial improvements to the structure and buildings of the clubhouse and its associated playing and fitness facilities.
* Ease of access into and out of the site.
* Significant improvement regarding car parking arrangements.
* Significant improvement to the club's potential for future sustainability.
On behalf of Solihull Arden Club, I wish to make it clear to SMBC within this supplementary review response, that the Club's position as stated previously as above remains the same.
