Industrial SPD

Consultation has closed. Thanks to everyone who took part.

Hello, and welcome to OPDC's home for the Industrial Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Consultation that took place between 12 June 2023 to midnight 24 July 2023. OPDC Board approved the adoption of the SPD on 23 November 2023.

Purpose of the SPD

The Industrial SPD provides additional information and detail on how OPDC will implement industrial related policies in the Local Plan. The SPD will apply generally to the whole OPDC area, with a core focus is on:

• how industrial developments, within and outside of SIL, can be intensified and integrated within the urban fabric and demonstrate best practice from both a design, placemaking and sustainability perspective;
• how industrial developments can respond to local character, by setting out spatially specific design guidance where appropriate;
• Development that happens on/within sites.

The adopted Industrial SPD will now be a material consideration when determining all planning applications in the OPDC area, including those delegated to the London Boroughs of Brent and Ealing to determine on behalf of OPDC.
