Hemel Hempstead’s sphere of influence, which developers have said include Abbots Langley, needs 500 megawatts of IT capacity, their report adds.Two buildings would house the data centre, each with a maximum footprint of 21,209.8 square metres.
“The reality of the current and growing need for modern data processing and storage is that it requires large buildings arranged in a way that ensures they are highly connected, highly available and resilient. An alternative sites assessment found there are no previously developed sites across Three Rivers, Dacorum, St Albans, or Dacorum which meet the size needs.
The developers’ planning statement acknowledges that data centre buildings would normally be “inappropriate development” in the green belt.But the developers argue there are “very special circumstances” to allow for the project.
