Cardiff East data centre: comments close 28 October

A new case study, and our representations to Cardiff Council.

Cardiff Council is considering a 150 MW data centre, with its own gas-fired energy centre and 40 diesel generators, on the Cardiff East Park and Ride site beside the A48 at Pentwyn (application 26/00109/HYB). Comments close on 28 October 2026.

Our new case study sets out the points you may wish to consider and what the public has not yet been shown. Dennis Clarke and Max Wallis have also prepared representations to the Council (PDF).

The full paper, ‘Beyond Planning Permission’, can now be downloaded as a PDF from the paper page.
