Denham Parish Council has objected to a proposed 60,000 sqm data center development in Buckinghamshire, UK. Submitted by Mulberry Commercial Developments II on June 1, 2026, the plan calls for two data center buildings on Green Belt land on either side of Denham Court Drive near the village of Denham. The site is currently used seasonally for the Denham Giant Car Boot Sale, one of the largest in the Greater London area.
“We’re not resistant to change. We know data centers are needed, but a lot of care has to be taken about where they are sited, and this site is wholly inappropriate. The land is designated as Green Belt for good reason and should be protected,” says parish councilor and committee chairman Alan Head.
“The development would also be unacceptably close to residential property. As a parish council we defend the Green Belt, and we object to having a monster building like this at the end of residents’ back gardens, overshadowing their homes.”
The council has urged Denham residents to object to the proposal and, along with local councillors, has requested the application be “called in” to committee for a political decision rather than officer determination.
Developer Mulberry Commercial Developments is primarily focused on logistics warehousing with little visible data center experience. Buckinghamshire is seeing rising data center activity, including a £1 billion campus approved near Pinewood Studios and a 300MW project under UK Government review..webp)
