15: Industrial Use

a. Within Strategic Industrial Locations and Established Industrial Areas, development will be expected to contribute to environmental and transport improvements, either through on-site works or through planning obligations, where necessary.

b. The council will grant permissions for proposals containing trade counters, provided that the display and sales areas are a maximum of 15% of the total net floorspace.

c. The council will grant permissions for ancillary uses which will assist the functioning of the Strategic Industrial Locations and Established Industrial Areas, such as small shops and cafes, provided that it can be shown that the use meets only the needs of the employees within the industrial area.

d. The council will support proposals from green businesses (excluding waste management, waste recovery, recycling and transfer which are covered in the South London Waste Plan), where they are suitable for the location proposed.

For Safeguarded Industrial Areas see Appendix 2, Maps 2.1 to 2.11, and Policies Map.
