Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the change of use on its location within a designated Strategic Industrial Location (SIL)
- The adequacy of parking provision to serve the mixed use as a restaurant, shisha lounge and night club, and the effect of any lack of provision on surrounding occupiers and highway safety
- The effect of the change of use on neighbouring residential and business occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The use is fundamentally incompatible with the site's designation as a Strategic Industrial Location, which must be protected to maintain London's industrial capacity, and this conflict with the development plan is not outweighed by any material considerations.
