Tenants face eviction as developers plan massive data center on green belt land in Slough

Tenants at Manor Farm in Slough have received eviction notices after developers proposed a data center that would be twice the size of Wembley Stadium. They must vacate their homes by March as plans for the new development move forward. The proposed data center will include a three-story building and a battery energy storage system on green belt land. Developers argue that the area is of "poor quality" and that the economic benefits justify the project. Residents express concern about finding new housing and the impact on local wildlife and infrastructure. Slough Borough Council has begun assisting tenants in finding alternative accommodations.
