Scottish data center operator DataVita has submitted plans for a new building at its Chapelhall campus in North Lanarkshire.
DataVita said it has revised its plans for the data center, known as DV4, following four public consultation events held prior to the application being submitted.
It already operates a data center, DV1, on the site, and has another, DV3, under construction. DV2 is located elsewhere, in Glasgow.

Danny Quinn, managing director of DataVita, said: "We have seen a lot of data center speculation in Scotland recently, and the vast majority of it will never be built. DataVita has been operating in Scotland for more than ten years, and we already underpin a lot of the critical services used day in, day out across Scotland. We built DV1 at Chapelhall, we are building DV3, and we run them ourselves with a Scottish team. DV4 is the next stage of that campus.”
