Summary

Pulsant's announcement published on 1 September 2026 says its Birmingham data centre, the 2,405 m2 facility acquired from SCC the previous year about five miles south-east of the city centre, has been fully integrated into its UK-wide edge platform and provides local businesses with secure, high-speed infrastructure, with regional businesses keeping their own infrastructure on site. This establishes that the existing data centre was operating on 1 September 2026. The £1m of upgrades and refurbishment it announces are investment plans, not a construction stage, and no new building or capacity change is implied. evidence

Use scope: Project locator
Scope class: environmental_permit_register_site_location
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Campus
Method: environment_agency_public_register_published_site_latitude_longitude_for_permit_EPR_BP3322LU
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Site location published by the Environment Agency's installations register for medium-combustion-plant permit EPR/BP3322LU (holder Pulsant Limited, 20 Westwood Avenue, Birmingham B11 3RZ): grid reference SP1007883731, latitude 52.451436, longitude -1.853127, copied without transformation. The register's easting and northing equal the ONS centroid of postcode B11 3RZ, so the point locates the permitted site through its postcode; it is not a building outline or surveyed position.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The register publishes no positional accuracy and its point coincides with the postcode centroid; imagery places it on the PV-roofed building, but no official building outline was used.
Geometry evidence: 3afd1725

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
