DataVita
A fourth DataVita data centre building proposed for the Chapelhall campus in North Lanarkshire, within the Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone, alongside the operating DV1 and the under-construction DV3. Planning permission in principle was submitted to North Lanarkshire Council in early September 2026, with a stated construction investment of £849.6 million over two years. The maximum building height was reduced from 30 to 26 metres following community consultation feedback.
