en.Wedoany.com Reported - Denham Parish Council in Buckinghamshire, UK, has formally opposed a planning application to build a large data center on the local green belt. The proposal, submitted by Mulberry Commercial Developments II on June 1, 2026, plans to construct two data center buildings with a total gross floor area of 60,000 square meters on green belt land on both sides of Denham Court Drive.

The site is currently used seasonally for the Denham Giant Car Boot Sale, one of the largest events of its kind in Greater London. Alan Head, Chair of the Parish Council, stated that the parish is not opposed to development, but the location of the data center must be carefully considered. The site, as green belt land, should be protected, and the development's proximity to residential areas is unacceptable.

The Parish Council has urged local residents to oppose the proposal and has joined with local councilors in calling for the application to be "called in" for a political decision by the committee, rather than being decided by officials. Notably, the developer, Mulberry Commercial Developments, primarily focuses on the logistics warehousing sector and has relatively limited experience in data center projects. Meanwhile, data center construction activity in Buckinghamshire continues to grow, including a £1 billion campus already approved near Pinewood Studios and a 300MW project currently under review by the UK government.
