Harlow, East of EnglandProposed

Two further data centre buildings, KLON-07 and KLON-08, proposed on Plot F of the Kao Data Harlow campus, together with a substation and ancillary offices. The site sits within Harlow's London Road (North) Local Development Order, so the scheme is progressed through a confirmation-of-compliance application rather than a conventional planning application. Applicant recorded as KD 6 Limited.
