Space

This project will help to change the perceptions of industrial buildings, from single-storey sheds to innovative, multi-faceted buildings that house London’s critical functions, such as logistics and distribution, alongside a collection of smaller and medium sized businesses.

These businesses will in turn provide diverse employment opportunities.

Sustainability

The Mayor has set out his ambition for London to be a net-zero carbon city by 2030. Industrial land, buildings and uses have a critical role to play in delivering this ambition. Through making the most efficient use of land through intensification, in the right places, multi-level buildings can reduce vehicular use, operational carbon emissions and energy consumption.

There are not yet any established benchmarks for the environmental performance of industrial buildings. Through this development, GLAP want to help create benchmarks and best practice for environmental performance in industrial buildings. It is intended that proposals exceed current London Plan policy SI 2 ‘Minimising greenhouse gas emissions’.
