- UK guts planning red tape so datacenters can bypass the neighbors faster
The UK's Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 aims to reduce approval times for Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) by up to 12 months, with datacenters now included in this category. The reforms, effective later this month, eliminate pre-application consultations for major projects like power stations and datacenters, streamlining approvals through central oversight instead of local councils.
