6 Standard Road, Chase Estate, Acton, LONDON, NW10 6EU

without planning permission, the material change of use of the building to a mixed use comprising a restaurant and shisha lounge

Authority: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: leisure-sport · Change of use
Inspector: Hanson S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the change of use of the premises on its location within a designated Strategic Industrial Location (SIL)
The adequacy of parking provision and the impact of the use in terms of parking and highway safety

What decided it

The unauthorised use of the premises as a restaurant and shisha lounge is an incompatible use within a designated Strategic Industrial Location that results in unacceptable harm to the function and operation of the SIL, and the lack of parking provision creates highway safety concerns.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
