Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the vitality and viability of the Putney Town Centre
- the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to light, outlook and the provision of external amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would harm the vitality and viability of the town centre and provide substandard living conditions for future occupiers, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
The limited weight afforded to housing supply and other matters did not outweigh the harm to town centre vitality and viability and the significant adverse effects on living conditions of future occupiers.
