The East Havering Data Centre campus, Ecology Park project will deliver thousands of local jobs, a new public green space, and new digital infrastructure to support the local and wider UK economy.
The proposals include an extensive 113-hectare Ecology Park (roughly equivalent to 174 football pitches), which we want to deliver together with the community using local insights to help inform our final designs so that we can create an inviting, public open space that is fully accessible through new footpath and cycling routes.
The scheme will be situated on the boundary of Havering and Thurrock, to the east of the M25, and will deliver up to 400,000 square meters of data centre space, battery storage, horticulture, and educational facilities, with low-latency connectivity suitable for data-intensive applications such as cloud, AI, and financial trading, alongside robust physical and cyber security infrastructure to protect data centre operations.
During development, the project is expected to support 330 job-years per year, totaling 1,340 across the UK. Once fully operational, it will create 620 new and sustained full-time permanent jobs in Havering, including 350 high-value roles in the information and communication sector. Across the UK workforce, the project will support 1,780 jobs once fully operational. Beyond job creation, the project will serve as a catalyst for economic growth and investment, benefiting the wider local community
