What decided it
The loss of highly valued parcel drop-off, collection and newspaper delivery services at the site, which are not demonstrated to be available elsewhere locally, outweighs the modest housing benefit.
The benefits of providing some additional housing with good transport links were clearly outweighed by the loss of services at the site which are highly valued by the local community.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy TLC4 of the Fulham Local Plan (2018)Policy E9 of the London Plan (2021)
- National Planning Policy Framework
