Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the use on the availability of strategic industrial land and employment floorspace
  • The effect of the use on the amenity of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the use on highway safety
  • The effect of the use on fire safety

What decided it

The use results in the loss of strategic protected industrial land and employment floorspace contrary to Policies P29 and P30 of the Southwark Plan and Policies SD1, E4 and E5 of the London Plan 2021, which cannot be outweighed by other material considerations.

Plan policies cited: Policy P29 Southwark Plan, Policy P30 Southwark Plan, Policy 18 Southwark Plan, Policy 56 Southwark Plan, Policy 66 Southwark Plan, Policy 50 Southwark Plan, Policy SD1 London Plan 2021, Policy E4 London Plan 2021, Policy E5 London Plan 2021, Policy T2 London Plan 2021, Policy T4 London Plan 2021, Policy D12 London Plan 2021
