m²

A metal refinery stood on the 3.86 hectares at Bashley Road until the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation consented its replacement in September 2020, and the building rising there is the most vertical data centre in west London: five storeys carrying ten halls across 58,842 sq m of consented floorspace, with a 66 kV substation inside the same scheme. The Development Corporation, not the London Borough of Ealing, determines applications on this land - outline permission 20/0037/FUMOPDC with a section 106 agreement dated 4 September 2020, reserved matters approved under 21/0077/REMOPDC. The carbon-offset contribution collected against the outline permission came to 6,999,573 pounds, the largest the Corporation has taken from any scheme, and it has since drawn 121,200 pounds from that fund in July 2024 and 705,076 pounds in January 2025. The planning file describes an applicant and a scheme without naming an occupier; the Microsoft connection is documented in the commissioning and contracting record instead. No power figure appears in the file or in any operator statement.

Frequently asked questions

What consents does the Bashley Road scheme hold?

Outline permission 20/0037/FUMOPDC, granted with a section 106 agreement dated 4 September 2020, and reserved matters under 21/0077/REMOPDC. The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation is the planning authority here rather than Ealing Council.

How large is the consented building?

58,842 sq m over five storeys, holding ten data halls, on a 3.86-hectare site previously occupied by a metal refinery.

What did the scheme contribute to carbon offsetting?

6,999,573 pounds, the largest such contribution the Development Corporation has collected. It allocated 121,200 pounds from the fund in July 2024 and 705,076 pounds in January 2025.

Which occupier does the planning record name?

The documents describe an applicant and a scheme but no end user. Microsoft's involvement is recorded in contractor and commissioning material, including a 66 kV substation delivered as part of the same works.
