EL15 Improving Existing Industrial Areas

Part A: Overview

New development in the industrial estates of Edmonton Leeside will be expected to deliver buildings and services to meet modern business needs and a better range of employment opportunities, which could secure higher job densities and opportunities for local people.

Part B: Priorities for Action

New industrial development or redevelopment will be permitted within the industrial areas identified as SIL and LSIS.

Development proposals within the industrial estates listed in Part C will be required to contribute to improvements as follows:

  • Provide efficient car parking layouts that direct car users away from parking on the street;
  • Improve circulation on internal estate roads where development is of sufficient scale to enable this to happen;
  • Support opportunities for intensification of employment uses, and making more efficient use of land;
  • Improve pedestrian and cycle routes within Edmonton Leeside and beyond, in accordance with Policy EL21; and
  • Provide good quality public realm and, where appropriate, planting to support the biodiversity of the area.
