Inspector: Peerless K

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

On ground (b): whether the mixed use as a shisha lounge, entertainment venue and restaurant has occurred as a matter of fact or whether the primary use is as a restaurant with ancillary uses as a shisha lounge and entertainment venue
On ground (c): whether the alleged change of use constitutes a breach of planning control
On ground (a): the effect of the development on the integrity and effectiveness of the designated Strategic Industrial Location (SIL), parking availability and highway safety in the locality, and the amenity of neighbouring occupiers
On ground (f): whether the requirements of the notice go beyond what is required to remedy the breach of planning control
On ground (g): whether the time for compliance is reasonable

What decided it

The loss of industrial floorspace within a designated Strategic Industrial Location conflicts with adopted planning policy E1 of the OPDC Local Plan, which seeks to protect and strengthen industrial land, and this conflict is not outweighed by the suggested benefits of employment and re-use of a vacant building.

Plan policies cited: London Plan (2021) E4, London Plan (2021) E5, OPDC Local Plan 2018-2038 E1, OPDC Local Plan 2018-2038 SP5, OPDC Local Plan 2018-2038 TCC1, OPDC Local Plan 2022 T1(e)
