"the argument that they might have been mollified by the extra footfall is a very tenuous one"

How, exactly? It is up to Ngon what they do with the market on their doorstep.  They can choose to do nothing.  Or, for example, they could have someone with a food tray walking around handling out samples or special offer vouchers and telling people about their restaurant.  So even if people don't go then, they may make a point about going later. Particularly if they get an offer voucher.  If people don't normally go down that section of the High Rd, they probably don't even realise that Ngon exists.

So it depends on the attitude as the business... some seem to view the stalls as competition but what is stopping them viewing the people there as an opportunity and doing something?  If shopkeepers don't do anything or just complain then they can hardly be surprised with the outcomes.

"footfall may actually overall have been down because the car park was out of action"

Lets do some sums.  From google maps, the car park seems to have about 50 places.  Let's assume an average of 30 mins per stay and the car park is always occupied.  No, let's assume 45 minutes because Eric Pickles wants people to have extra time for free.  That works out at about 500 cars over an 8 hour day or about 600-700 people based upon London car occupancy levels.

It would be interesting to know how that compares to the number of people visiting the market. If it is more than about 90 people an hour then it will probably be more than a fully occupied car park.

As comparison with other modes of transport, that is less people than a single District line train or about the same capacity of about 30 minutes of buses along Chiswick High Road.
