DC01UK's plan to build 'Europe's biggest AI datacentre' wins local council approval | Computer Weekly
Briefly

DC01UK's £3.75bn hyperscale datacentre project near South Mimms in Hertfordshire received local council approval, despite over 900 objections from the public. The Hertsmere Borough Council granted outline planning permission in support of the project, aimed at bolstering the local economy with an estimated £3.75bn during construction and nearly 14,000 jobs once operational. The DC01UK company, which does not operate datacentres, intends to market the site for potential operators. The ambitious initiative positions Hertfordshire at a pivotal point in the datacentre landscape.
We want to thank Hertsmere Borough Council for their open and pragmatic approach to DC01UK's plans. They understand our ambition for both the project and the borough. It will bring huge benefits for local people through a stronger local economy, more skilled jobs and better opportunities.
Our plan will put Hertfordshire at the epicentre of the new datacentre revolution, as well as creating £3.75bn for the economy during construction and almost 14,000 indirect jobs once operational.
