SEGRO backs draft London Plan's balance between industrial land protection and housing delivery

By Public Technologies
  • 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.
