AAP14: The Consolidation of the Wealdstone Strategic Industrial Location

A proposal for the consolidation of the Wealdstone Strategic Industrial Location will be supported where:

  • It can be demonstrated that the proposed types and levels of employment / industrial floorspace to be provided are supported through the findings of a robust economic analysis;
  • The applicant has established, to the Council’s satisfaction, the long-term financial viability of the development;
  • The applicant has established, to the Council’s satisfaction, that the type and quantum of enabling development is essential to the success of the proposal;
  • The proposal is supported by a comprehensive masterplan that accords with the site objectives and development parameters identified in Chapter 5 for Opportunity Site 2;
  • The application demonstrates how the proposal will achieve the Area Action Plan’s defined objectives for the Wealdstone West sub area, the Wealdstone Central sub area, and for the Heart of Harrow as a whole;
  • The proposal will achieve a significant improvement in environmental quality and amenity of the consolidated Strategic Industrial Location through appropriate landscaping and a high standard of external design and appearance of buildings;
  • The proposal will provide adequate access and include appropriate measures to ensure that the capacity and safety of the adjacent road network and junctions is not detrimentally affected.

Economic development and uses, and any appropriate ancillary uses, on sites within the consolidated Wealdstone Strategic Industrial Location will be supported where these do not conflict with London Plan Policy 2.17 and criteria a-e of Policy AAP15.

Following the consolidation of Strategic Industrial Land, no further incremental consolidation will be entertained during the Plan period.
