In the adopted Local Plan the site is located in a Locally Significant Industrial Area (LSIA). Policy LP34 (Managing Land for Industry and Distribution) states that in LSIAs, the redevelopment of sites must provide at least the full replacement of existing industrial floorspace. Part B (3) of the policy highlights that the intensification of the sites for industrial purposes through increased floorspace will be strongly encouraged. A pre-application submission document was submitted in October 2024 on behalf of NeedSpace? Ltd in order to engage with Wandsworth Borough Council regarding the site. The pre-app proposal was for the demolition of the existing industrial building and intensification of employment uses. It proposes to construct a new industrial building of up to 1,874m2 GEA of modern flexible employment floor space. The proposed use was submitted as Class E(g)(iii)), B2 & B8, along with ancillary office space. The proposed building has the potential to be split into two units. There have been two meetings with the Council to discuss the proposals. The minutes are available upon request, but we note the following: LB Wandsworth noted that industrial floorspace is maximised on the site, the scheme was amended to provide additional floorspace by relocating the offices to the 2nd floor. This was well received by the Council in second Pre-App meeting. - The scheme is confirmed as being policy compliant - Affordable workspace would need to be considered, but this could be by way of a contribution via viability assessment - The servicing and parking strategy was broadly seen as supported.
