Our illustrative masterplan
The site
The site is uniquely well suited to accommodate data centre development.
Currently a landfill and former mineral extraction site, it is naturally contained, located between the M40 and A40 and situated within the Slough Availability Zone.
The design approach will take account of the site’s varying topography, with the data and energy infrastructure located in the lower parts of the site to help minimise visual impact.
Our design principles
We are taking a proactive approach to ensure our project design focuses on key principles guided by national planning policy. These are:
Climate
Seeking opportunities for decarbonisation and allowing the project to be adapted over time to build climate resilience.
People
Infrastructure designed for people – easy to navigate and instinctive to use, helping to improve quality of life.
Places
Considering identity and how we deliver a development with a coherent sense of place, and which improves the natural, historic and built environment.
Value
Identifying opportunities to deliver economic, environmental and social benefits to maximise the overall value of the project, including through early collaboration with stakeholders and the community.
