Durham Technology Park - Building 5

Durham Technology Park is a proposed data centre campus situated between South Hetton, Murton, and Easington Lane in Seaham, United Kingdom. The development is currently in its initial design phase, with an outline planning application to be submitted. The masterplan includes up to seven main data centre buildings, a logistics building, car parking, internal roads, and two vehicle access points with a third for emergencies. The project also features landscaping, surface water storage, and public footpaths. A key aspect of the infrastructure is an on-site electricity substation designed to connect to a National Grid substation at Hawthorn Pit. The development aims to provide significant benefits to local communities, including the creation of new employment opportunities, with careful consideration given to managing the effects throughout construction and operation.
