Take much of what you say, but just to keep things straight, there is no requirement to be affiliated to the NRA in order to gain HO approval. If there are clubs out there being told so, please let me know in my official capacity.

I thought it was a requirement to be affiliated to the NRA or NSRA to get HO Approval but cannot now find any reference to it. However, I might know where I got confused, is it a requirement of JSP 403 Volume 1 Edition 2 Change 6 'USE OF LAND RANGES' Article 0329:
Eligibility. To be eligible to use a MOD land range, a civilian club must:
a. Be affiliated to one of the approved national associations at paragraph 0327 and must be able to produce written confirmation that its affiliation fees are paid.
b. Consist of at least 10 members.
c. Be approved by the Home Office on application by one of the approved national associations at paragraph 0327.
d. Be able to provide a national association approved and qualified RCO.
0327. lists the NRA, NSRA, CPSA and MLAGB
