Light Industry -
means a building or place used to carry out an industrial activity that does not interfere with the amenity of the neighbourhood by reason of noise, vibration, smell, fumes, smoke, vapour, steam, soot, ash, dust, waste water, waste products, grit or oil, or otherwise, and includes any of the following—
(a) high technology industry,
(b) home industry,
(c) artisan food and drink industry,
(d) creative industry.
Light Industry is a critical component of local economies, offering opportunities for businesses to operate in a way that integrates seamlessly with residential and commercial areas.
These industries typically focus on low-impact activities, such as manufacturing, processing or creative production, that avoid generating significant noise, pollution or other disruptions.
For example, a high technology industry might involve the assembly of computer components or the development of advanced electronics, while a creative industry could include small-scale film production or graphic design studios.
The inclusion of niche operations like artisan food and drink industries adds to the versatility of light industry.
A craft brewery, for instance, can produce high-quality beverages while contributing to the local economy through retail sales and community engagement.
Similarly, home industries allow entrepreneurs to run small-scale operations directly from their homes, such as handcrafting goods or offering boutique services.
By maintaining a balance between functionality and environmental harmony, light industry fosters innovation and economic growth without compromising the amenity and liveability of the surrounding neighbourhoods.
