Planning secured for major Surrey data centre

Real estate investor Castleforge and Galaxy Data Centers have secured planning permission for a new 15MW data centre in Redhill, Surrey.

Situated on the existing 3.1-hectare Foxboro Business Park, the companies aim to develop a single two-storey data centre with four data halls.

Mike Adcock, Head of Investments at Castleforge, said: “Securing planning consent for our new development at Redhill is a major milestone in our plans to deliver high-quality, sustainable digital infrastructure to one of the world’s most important data centre markets.

“Demand for capacity in and around London continues to outpace supply, and this consent enables us to bring forward the additional power and scale required to serve customers.”

Paul Leong, Chief Financial Officer and Partner of Galaxy Data Centers, added: “This planning consent is a pivotal step in realising our long-term vision. We are proud to be delivering a development that combines operational excellence with meaningful sustainability outcomes, and we look forward to bringing the project forward in close collaboration with the local community.”
