The campaigners are also concerned about the potential impact on the environment. <\/p>\n
“The data centre planned would be an environmental nightmare both for the wildlife and the local residents,” said Lizzie Bailey, who lives locally.<\/p>\n
“This will be temporary disruption with the construction but then permanent disruption because of the diesel generators, the noises, the cooling fans, things like that.”<\/p>\n
Curtis Hall Ltd, the company behind the plans, said the development would “not put a strain on the energy grid or water infrastructure”.<\/p>\n
The company added: “The data centre’s water and drainage requirements have been developed in consultation with Welsh Water and any connection to the public network requires their agreement. <\/p>\n
“This ensures our data centre can be accommodated without impacting the supply of water to residents’ homes.” <\/p>\n
It said a “detailed noise impact assessment” concluded the site “won’t have adverse impact on the nearest homes in terms of noise, including at night”.<\/p>\n
Cardiff Council said the proposal was being considered, adding that “as with all planning applications, the proposal will be assessed against relevant planning policies and material planning considerations”.<\/p>\n
The council encouraged people with “comments, concerns or views” to submit them through the consultation process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The campaigners are also concerned about the potential impact on the environment. “The data centre planned would be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":752031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-752030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=752030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/752031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=752030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=752030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=752030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
