Another data center campus has been proposed outside London in Iver, Buckinghamshire.
First reported by the Bucks Free Press, Sequence (Iver) UK Ltd has asked Buckinghamshire Council for an environmental impact assessment of its plans. The proposed project would see the redevelopment of a former landfill site to host a data center and substation.
The 16.5-hectare site, located east of the M25 along Slough Road (A4007), is just south of the Iver Substation. The company is proposing a two-story, 15,490 sqm (166,755 sq ft) building offering 48MW of IT capacity, as well as a 150MW substation.
The site was historically used as a landfill for the disposal of waste materials.
Sequence (Iver) UK Ltd is a joint venture between Astra Partners Ltd and Valore Group.
Founded in 2013, Valore Group is an owner, investor, and operator of real estate. Companies within the group include investment manager Valore Capital Partners and Valore Ventures.
The planning document noted that the project’s development team was involved in the Kildare Innovation Campus on the outskirts of Dublin in County Kildare. The 72-acre campus was formerly occupied by Hewlett Packard in the 1990s.
Nestled between existing hotspots Slough and Hayes, Iver isn’t traditionally a major development area for data centers. However, Segro, CorScale, and Amazon are looking to develop data centers in the area.
More projects have been proposed in the area since the current government looked to open up more land on London’s Green Belt for development, with a focus on data centers.
