Microsoft is looking to develop a data center in Langley near Slough in the UK.

As reported by the Maidenhead Advertiser, Microsoft is planning to develop a data center at the Langley Business Centre site near Langley and Windsor College on Station Road.

Site plan shared by Microsoft – Microsoft

The site was previously granted outline planning permission in 2021 for the development of a data center and 60 affordable homes, though this has since lapsed. That project was being explored by Zurich Assurance with the aim of developing a 1 million sq ft (93,000 sqm) data center.

Microsoft said that the new proposal differs from the previous outline permission and is "focused on data center use."
