I think Lucy that you will find that the independent shop keepers in the parade opposite Capsticks are in the main very worried that the plans will substantially increase the local rents and drive them out of the area that they have been trading in for years. Their customers from the local offices have been driven away by developers determined to push high density developments for residents who will not provide them with the same income during the week. We are NOT anti development and would like to make that absolutely clear, we want human scale development that will provide office space and accomodation without destroying the character of Putney ( there are roads and residents behind these sites). We are saddened that the proposals by developers -seemingly encouraged by the Council Planners- have all been upwards of 15 storeys and for landmark buildings, all 6 of them on the Upper Richmond Road. In short, the delay in redevelopment is not down to the hundreds of residents who have objected to turning Putney into Manhattan.
