I <br />I <br />I <br />I» <br />c <br />I <br />r <br />♦ • <br />I I <br />i <br />! : <br />assessment: i.e. the price they received for the sale of the land. They <br />were simply spending money to make money. <br />According to the Club's own estimate, of 50-60 cars, each travelling <br />back and fo. ih, for the proposed hours of operation, opening the road <br />would mean an additional car travelling down Woodhill Avenue EVERY 6 <br />MINUTES. The Club's estimates are wholly unsubstantiated and one <br />wonders why they have fought so hard to gain access to a road that <br />they say few people would use.

Their <br />contention seems to rest on the inclusion of a hand drawn map included <br />with their 1969 CUP application. However, this map was not <br />referenced in the CUP, and is therefore only part of the club's <br />application- not the granted CUP. The club admits this in their current <br />I <br />•r
