Vital Old Kent Road comments at #BBPInquiry indicates that there are issues about keeping track of loss of industrial space via planning approvals at council and London level. So how can the planning committee make informed decisions? Peckham Vision Just Space

Mark Brearley from Vital Old Kent Road giving evidence on our behalf. The appellant questioned his list of sites in Southwark that had lost industrial space, saying many had lost less than a hectare. Mark pointed out that many industrial businesses occupy premises that are smaller than 1ha

Mark told the #BBPInquiry that viable mixed-use schemes were a relatively new phenomenon. Well-designed schemes could have a happy relationship between industrial, residential, goods access and pedestrian access. "This scheme just doesn’t do it. It’s blindingly obvious"

This is good news, but only a drop in the ocean. Over 100 heritage buildings in OKR area have no protection against annihilation, yet Southwark twiddle their thumbs, fail to grasp the urgency. We are already loosing great assets, urged on rather than challenged by our Council.

The Inspectors' report on the London Plan is highly significant for Southwark Council's New Southwark Plan and the Public Hearings in 2020 - it helps to show too much industrial land is planned to disappear: planningresource.co.uk/article/166325…

Delighted to have successfully defended this appeal instructed by Southwark Law Centre and alongside colleague Charles Streeten - a great result for local residents and Southwark Council . A timely reminder of the importance of plan-led devpt even in the face of significant housing need

A London mayoral candidate asked to visit us at the Kaymet factory. Good opportunity to raise awareness of threats to London’s industry, so I uploaded a recently done video. It races through reasons we should retain a welcome for industry in cities. Here: lnkd.in/dP-QH9e

With London's industry being kicked around by Jenrick & the Mayor, get inspired by Mark Brealey's movie & RT the link to everyone. Love this city.

If the OKR AAP is not re-worked then local business will be undermined, thousands of jobs will be wiped out and opportunities lost #VitalOKR
