Had a quick look at Forest Hill Society's Constitution as published on their web-site.

In Section 2 titled "Objectives" these clauses appear:

"In furtherance of these objectives but not otherwise the Society through its Executive Committee shall have the following powers;

...

(ii) To act as co-ordinating body and/or to co-operate with the; [sic] Local Authorities, Government Departments, Transport Authorities, Public and Private Companies, Charities, Voluntary Organisations, neighbouring Societies, and persons having objectives wholly or in part similar to those of the Society."

I must fully concur with michael when he states the Society has no sole responsibility for creation of solutions of the type discussed. Furthermore the Society is to be commended for its many successes and for the many hours of work its members contribute toward achieving its stated objectives.

However that is not to say that the objectives and powers that the Society sets for itself have been met by reason of the lack of objectivity in its short report on this application.

It's Constitution could not be clearer in that it chooses to act as a co-ordinating body with many parties with seemingly only one caveat - that these parties must have objectives that are similar to those of the Society.

Given that any reasonable view would conclude that Domino's Pizza have expressed no views or made statements that demonstrate any negative objectives or makes any proposals that counter those of the Society, perhaps they still can benefit from the Society's professed role as a co-ordinating body.

Honest mistakes can be and do get made. Taking action to correct them immediately they have been identified is imperative. The Society's web-page identifies two out of three of its main objections as being noise and parking of mopeds - both of which would be mitigated by the deployment of Electric Zero Emission Scooters

It can be argued that, in light of the report's absence of a statement about the acceptability of mitigation measures, an amended report should be submitted to the planning authority without delay and if procedurally this is not permitted the Society must consider writing to the authority advising that the report is withdrawn.
