SEGRO backs draft London Plan's balance between industrial land protection and housing delivery
- SEGRO welcomed the draft London Plan in November 12, 2026 commentary, backing its balance between industrial land protection and housing delivery.
- The draft allows consideration of Green Belt release to meet industrial demand rather than relying on intensifying existing sites alone.
- Data center development needs clearer location policies; excluding industrial sites without suitable alternatives risks undermining planning certainty and digital infrastructure resilience.
- Industrial land should be released for housing only with compelling evidence it is surplus to long-term requirements.
- The Plan provides for approximately 56,000 new homes annually, below government-assessed need of around 85,000.
