Energy and Digital Infrastructure (Planning) Bill

Labour will remove planning barriers to new datacentres.

The bill's long title states it will 'make provision about the planning of new energy and digital infrastructure', which directly addresses planning for digital infrastructure including datacentres. However, the bill text provided does not contain sufficient detail to confirm that it specifically removes planning barriers or changes planning rules to permit new datacentres as promised. The title indicates relevant subject matter but without the substantive provisions of the bill, it cannot be confirmed that planning barriers are actually being removed. Therefore, this represents partial fulfilment based on the limited text available.
