The problem always ends up being that it's extremely local (read: NIMBY).

Everyone wants more Z, Y, X. Nobody wants to change where they are to support it. This is why even areas that redevelop in places that are friendly to it, take decades.

The "old" solution was to just build a whole new factory town elsewhere, but that doesn't work as well, and especially doesn't work when you're not building megafactories that employ entire cities.

Fast internet, communal office space, and a fast cheap train to London is just as good as a factory. Build new towns.

Get a grip of bat and heritage protections which slow everything down by months or years.
