We have added a short guide to the batteries proposed at the Cardiff East Park and Ride data centre (application 26/00109/HYB): what they could do, what they cannot, and the questions worth asking.
A 2021 report to Cardiff Council’s Cabinet shows that the land was marketed for a logistics centre, and that completion of the sale depends on planning permission. The case study now asks whether the terms of the sale allow a data centre, and how the Council keeps its roles as landowner and planning authority apart.
The representations by Dennis Clarke and Max Wallis (PDF) have been revised, and the full paper (PDF) has an updated Cardiff East section.
