Bidder Street Planning Approval

TTSP are delighted to announce that at last night’s London Borough of Newham Strategic Development Committee hearing, unanimous approval was given to the new 80MW Hyperscale Data Centre on Bidder Street, Newham.

Working with sineQN and their development partners and funders, Legal & General and Goldacre, TTSP as lead architect, and in partnership with Foster + Partners, have been developing the designs on this £750m Data Centre for over 2 years.

The 80MW development has the potential to be a heat source for thousands of new and existing homes in Newham. Additionally, the proposal delivers significant public realm including the completion of the Lea Walk connecting the Olympic Park to Canning Town, investment in education and skills training, public art, ecological enhancement and contributes to a new pedestrian bridge crossing the adjacent River Lea.

Ian Miller, Director TTSP and lead on the scheme said “This is fantastic news, achieving unanimous approval from the committee which opens the door to delivery of the next generation of sustainable hyperscale data centres. The team has worked tirelessly together and it’s a testament to everyone’s hard work and determination to get to this point. We look forward to moving on to the next phase and delivering this exceptional scheme.”

The project represents a fourth consecutive successful consent within the established docklands data centre zone, which will now expand from Tower Hamlets to include two significant new developments by the practice in Newham.
