Rejected Iver data centre gets Angela Rayner approval
Rejected data centre gets approval after appeal
Rejected plans to build a data centre on green belt land have been approved by the housing secretary after an appeal.
Angela Rayner stepped in to push through Affinius Capital's proposals for the 65,000 sq m (700,000 sq ft) site at the Court Lane Industrial Estate in Iver, Buckinghamshire.
The deputy prime minister's decision overturns Buckinghamshire Council's decision to refuse the plans in October last year.
The site earmarked for the data centre, currently of mixed industrial use, is east of the M25 and bordered by the Grand Union Canal, as well as sewage and water treatment works.
