Transport and access
Site access and transport links
The existing access to the site by car, bike and foot has been assessed as part of the emerging proposals.
These assessments will continue as our plans progress. This includes links to public transport and public rights of way (footpaths and bridleways).
New vehicular access
SDC is proposing to create a new access to the site from the north west, directly off the A40. An emergency access is also planned in the south east corner, linked to Hedgerley Lane near the M40.
Once operational, the data centre campus is anticipated to generate relatively low levels of traffic with the majority of trips associated with maintenance and staff. Dedicated parking will be provided on site.
Public transport access
Staff will be encouraged to access the site by public transport, including the 102 bus that connects Beaconsfield to Gerrards Cross along the A40.
Improving local rights of way
Proposals would seek to retain and improve public rights of way across the site to enhance the network of recreational footpaths for public use.
During construction
If consent is granted, a comprehensive construction traffic management plan will be developed to manage traffic in the local area during construction.
For example, SDC is proposing to use the existing access road off the A40 during construction and while the new road access is created
