Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location for the use is supported as a matter of principle when regard is paid to planning policy
  • Effects on the living conditions of nearby residents when particular regard is paid to noise and transport
  • Whether the proposal makes necessary arrangements when regard is paid to transport and servicing

What decided it

The location of the proposed use is not supported as a matter of principle because it conflicts with Policy ED3 (Local Plan) and Policy E4 (London Plan) which seek to retain and provide industrial capacity in the KIBA, and no material considerations justify departing from the development plan.
