You need to work with the wall, a members list, their postcode, frequency of use, even how they travel there (ideally foot or bike).
It is not about claiming something, but proving it. Get the local press down on a busy evening etc.. or local shops, down any other businesses benefit from trade the wall draws in. Are there any local councillors or mps who climb or hill walk? If the wall goes how many extra polluting driving miles will everyone do to another venue? Build your case with facts not sentiment.
Good luck as you'll need it. As an ex Newhaven resident I know the benefit of having a wall on your door step. I think you'll get no where but it's worth a try. If sssi's are fair game for a golf course, then indoor wall for flats is a no brainer to them.
