UK data center firm Deep Green has secured planning permission for a new project in West Yorkshire.

The company has secured planning approval to build its 5.6MW facility in Bradford. The facility is set to be developed on Listerhills Road, adjacent to the new Thornton Road energy center.

Deep Green filed to develop the facility last year. The site totals 3,420 sqm (36,810 sq ft), with some 1,275 sqm (13,725 sq ft) of floorspace to be developed. The two-story project would see four data halls built.

Mark Lee, Deep Green CEO, said: “Planning approval in Bradford is a major milestone - not just for Deep Green, but for a different kind of digital infrastructure. The UK needs more data centers. That’s a fact. But it does not need more waste. Our model is simple: use the electrons twice. First to power AI and high-performance computing. Then to heat homes and buildings. Bradford is showing what’s possible when digital infrastructure is designed around community benefit from day one.”
