Jake Humphrey and Norfolk MP oppose Norwich data centre plans

Overview

Broadcaster Jake Humphrey and South Norfolk MP Ben Goldsborough have joined forces to oppose plans for the Norwich Apex Data Centre in Keswick. The proposed 150 Megawatt site has raised concerns regarding noise pollution, its scale, and potential environmental damage to the nearby Marston Marsh nature site. While developers maintain that expert assessments show no harm to local wildlife and that noise and heat mitigation measures will be implemented, both Humphrey and Goldsborough intend to formally fight the scheme submitted to South Norfolk Council.

Key points

  • Plans for the 150 Megawatt Norwich Apex Data Centre in Keswick have been submitted to South Norfolk Council.
  • Broadcaster Jake Humphrey and Labour MP Ben Goldsborough are opposing the development due to environmental and noise concerns.
  • The proposed site is located close to Marston Marsh, a protected nature site, causing worries about wildlife and a potential heat island effect.
  • Developers insist that expert assessments indicate no harm to nearby wildlife and that technology will prevent heat plumes and increased background noise.
