Nearly 5,000 people have signed a petition against plans for a 150 megawatt data centre outside of Norwich.

Norwich Apex Ltd, which owns the land upon which the data centre would be built, initially secured planning permission for the Apex Business Park site in 2018 from South Norfolk Council.

Initially Apex was envisioning an industrial business park.
