Description: My request concerns planning applications relating to data centres — including data storage or data processing facilities, whether new build, change of use, conversion or extension — within the area covered by your authority. For the three-year period from 1st January 2023 to 21 July 2026 inclusive, please provide: 1. The total number of planning applications received/validated that relate to data centres. 2. A breakdown of those applications by outcome: a) granted/approved; b) refused; c) withdrawn; d) still pending/awaiting determination. Where possible, I would also be grateful for a list of the relevant applications showing, for each one: the planning reference number, the site address, the date received, the current status, and (where decided) the decision and decision date.
