Most are for industrial land within the boundaries of the Old Oak and Park Royal Mayoral categorised as industrial land uses, however the categories mask the diversity of business Development Corporation (OPDC) which was set up in April 2015 to guide the sectors and mix of industrial and non-industrial activities within each site. There are four regeneration of Old Oak and support industry in Park Royal. It serves primarily as main industrial site typologies: standalone warehouses, industrial estates, dense light evidence base to inform the development of the OPDC Opportunity Area Planning industrial and business centres.

The supply and demand of industrial land is Business centre sites have the highest plot ratios and employment densities while assessed taking into account proposals for the redevelopment of Old Oak around a standalone warehouses and industrial estates require lower plot ratios to function major new interchange train station between Crossrail, High Speed Rail 2 (HS2) and Great efficiently. Current site densities suggest that there could be scope to intensify some sites Western mainline train lines. through redevelopment and infill development, especially those close to public transport The OPDC area contains 355ha of employment sites which accommodate around 1500 hubs on the edge of Park Royal and along the main access routes to them. This can help business units in diverse sectors, many of which provide goods and services to London’s to free up ground floor and yard space on other sites for the businesses that need them. businesses and residents. 60% of the estimated 36,000 jobs are in industrial sectors and The limited supply of vacant industrial employment land at 2% suggest that additional many workers live locally in the three surrounding boroughs. The industrial area grew employment generating floor space would need to come from making more intensive in the post-war period producing everything from ketchup to busses. After a decline in use of the sites. However, for many of the firms operating in Park Royal further increasing large manufacturing firms after 1970, today it is one of the most sought after locations development densities is not ideal without a number of challenges being addressed.

It is made up of a patchwork of business sizes and sectors with highway parking and congestion is an issue as firms displace activity onto the highway several clusters including film and TV, food production, vehicle repair and logistics. The because their properties have insufficient open yardage, servicing space or parking. OPDC was set up to guide the regeneration of Old Oak and support industry in Park The workforce is also affected by congestion, because many drive to work, as well as the Royal. This Industrial Land Review (ILR) provides evidence and recommendations for the limited services, such as cafés in the area. However, there is scope to reduce the number OPDC and its local plan. of people driving to work as a large part of the workforce lives locally and the main pedestrian access routes from Park Royal to public transport hubs could be improved by POLICY AND EVIDENCE BASE combining services and more intensive sites along them.

Standalone office uses within the businesses from Old Oak and HS2 construction sites to appropriate sites within Park Park Royal SIL are not supported by the London Plan and as such this study focuses on Royal and the surrounding boroughs. However this is a challenge that will require a more industrial uses. intensive use of industrial land due to the low land and floor space vacancy rates Specific to Park Royal, growth is projected to take place in the logistics and waste management industrial sectors alongside green industries and clean technology with a focus on micro, small and medium sized workspaces. This trajectory is also echoed in local planning documents and research. The Greater London Authority has published an Opportunity Area Planning Framework for Old Oak & Park Royal which supplements the London Plan. These documents provide strategic guidance to accompany the OPDC Local Plan to guide development in the OPDC area. Alongside these documents, the ILR and a number of other pieces of technical research will inform the OPDC Local Plan. Once adopted, the London Plan and OPDC Local Plan will form the ‘development plan’ for the OPDC area. 4 OPDC INDUSTRIAL LAND REVIEW FINAL DRAFT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY QUANTITATIVE SUPPLY AND DEMAND INTENSIFICATION There is evidence of a growing shortage of land across London and Park Royal is the Despite increasing market demand and decreasing supply of industrial land in Park Royal largest reservoir of Strategic industrial locations in West London. It accommodates a wide there is currently little indication that the industrial development market is looking to range of industrial users but is one of the few locations large enough to accommodate intensify industrial sites in London. There are many barriers to intensifying industrial strategic property requirements as well as land for waste, utilities and transport. These sites in Park Royal, such as the need for yard space, investor and occupier preferences, uses are often cited as ‘bad neighbours’ and are very difficult to accommodate on smaller patterns of land ownership, road congestion, increased construction costs, increased local scale sites. management and decreased occupier flexibility. However, as the land supply for London seeks to balance its stock of industrial land through the use of the industrial traditional single storey warehouses with yards dries up there is an opportunity in Park land release benchmarks to manage the release of surplus industrial sites, mainly former Royal to explore strategies to use industrial sites more efficiently and free up ground floor manufacturing sites, into other uses. But data shows that that industrial land has been space for the businesses that need it. being released twice as fast as the benchmarks suggested. Ground floor space can be freed up for larger warehouses by developing sites to include Also the replacement of former manufacturing space with new logistics property is not additional light industrial workplaces on upper floors for businesses that do not require as fluid as the benchmarks suggested would be needed to support the London economy. regular use of yard space and parking.

  • Hsuk London Terminal Strategy
    HSUK LONDON TERMINAL STRATEGY In the development of high speed rail systems, the issue of terminal location and onward distribution of passengers assumes almost as much importance as the more obvious question of route. The new lines are designed to carry large volumes of passengers on trains operating at high frequencies, and these factors combine to create major flows arriving at city terminals which must then be efficiently dispersed onto the local public transport networks. This demands full integration of high speed and local systems, with optimised transfer at dedicated and fit-for- purpose terminals. These issues apply at all UK cities where high speed lines are planned, but are most acute in London, where passenger flows are greatest, and congestion in the existing public transport system is most critical. The following diagrams review existing central London connectivity issues, and compare and contrast the London terminal solutions proposed for HS2, and for the alternative High Speed UK proposals. For precise details of the core High Speed UK proposals (as included in the cost estimates), see the ‘200k’ series of plans. LTS1 : LONDON MAIN LINE NETWORK CIRCA 1963 LTS2 : EXISTING CENTRAL LONDON RAIL NETWORK INCLUDING CROSSRAIL SCHEME These diagrams show the rail network of central London, dominated by the classic terminus stations of the Victorian era. These are mostly reliant for onward connectivity upon the Tube network, which tended to form ‘nodes’ around the busier/more important termini. However, the change from main line to Tube is inherently inefficient, with passengers forced to detrain en masse, and with massive congestion occurring especially at rush hours.
