Planning green light for £10bn Northumberland data centre

Planning permission has been granted for a £10bn data centre in Northumberland .
Plans from investment giant Blackstone-owned QTS will see construction of a 540,000 square metre data centre campus on the Cambois site which was originally going to be the home of the doomed Britishvolt battery plant.
The approval for the site in Cambois has been described as a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’ – not just for the local area and the wider region – but the UK as a whole.
