Further submission from John Cochrane in response to amended plans - MCU21/0110

Assertion 2
Currently the clubhouse has declared a total waste storage capacity of 4,420 l.7 Assuming
there are collections 5 days per week this gives a weekly total of 21,200 l.8

The proposal will increase this by 44,674 l per week. Clearly, this is a threefold increase and
will generate significantly more noise and nuisance.

Further, the acoustic assessment does not consider the impact on those properties closest to
the existing loading dock – the “Fairways” Figure 2 indicates a radius of 50 m from the
existing dock towards the affected properties. In fact, the only assessment of a three to
fourfold increase in garbage truck activity in the acoustic report is the following statement –

With the deliveries and waste collection activities occurring at the existing clubhouse, it is
not expected the increase in these activities would have a significant noise impact. Deliveries
and waste collection activities are still suggested to be limited to daytime hours 7am to 6pm.
The activities are described as follows:

The activities then described are grease arrestor pump out and linen deliveries. There is no
assessment of garbage truck activity.

We believe this claim also to be fanciful.

5.         Assessment of Planning Efficiency


The reduction of the number of rooms from 109 to 69 should be accompanied by a
commensurate reduction in service facilities such as kitchen, travel & engineering, foyer

    7-day collections as nominated by the applicant will reduce storage need, but will increase nuisance
