Government launches consultation on brownfield land and intervenes on London Plan 

At the same time, the government has explicitly committed to pushing through policy changes in London, with Secretary of State Michael Gove writing to the Mayor of London to intervene on the London Plan by calling for “an overarching presumption in favour of housebuilding on brownfield land.”  

“While housebuilding is vital, communities also need logistics, meaning our sector needs space on brownfield land too,” says Jonathan Walker, Head of Cities and Infrastructure Policy at Logistics UK. 

“Some light industrial and types of employment can work well side-by-side with residential, but there are many land uses, including logistics and warehousing, where co-location is more challenging.”  

Logistics UK will be submitting a response to both the DLUHC consultation on brownfield development and the Greater London Authority consultation on 'Industrial Land Use' in London, which closes on 28 February.
