A 50MW data center could be built on green belt land in Bromley, UK.
The two-building campus would be constructed on a ten-hectare site between Cudham Lane North and Charmwood Lane, which is currently farmland. It is south of the A21 Sevenoaks Road just outside Bromley, a suburb of south-east London.

Data center consultancy Dare DC has made an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening opinion request to local authority Bromley Council, paving the way for a full planning application to be submitted. Councillors have asked for a detailed EIA on the development to be carried out before this happens.
Though an application has yet to be made, residents in the Bromley area have already expressed concerns about the scheme, with 300, mostly negative, comments submitted to the council, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
