Bidder Street Data Centre Receives Green Light

After three years of continuous involvement between our civils, structures, transport planning and geotechnical teams, we are delighted to see a successful planning outcome for a new Data Centre on Bidder Street in Newham.

Designed by TTSP and Foster + Partners for sineQN and their development/funding partners Legal & General and Goldacre, the 80MW £750M investment project will be a catalyst for a new digital quarter in the Cody Triangle. 

Key to the planning approval was the project’s innovative approach to harnessing decarbonised residual heat to provide heat for up to 13,000 homes and businesses in the local area.

The highly sustainable development will also reuse or recycle 95% of waste, whilst sourcing low carbon recycled materials for construction.

The project will also provide significant improvements to the public realm, pedestrian and cycle routes, and help support delivery of the new Mayer Parry Bridge connecting Newham and Tower Hamlets.

We look forward to progressing the scheme and East London regeneration alongside those mentioned plus Dunwoody, Arup, RPS and Rider Levett Bucknall.
