Summary

The Royal Borough of Greenwich's record 26/2370/EIA, published through the Greater London Authority's London Planning Datahub, shows that on 14 October 2026 the council issued (delegated decision 'Approved') its Environmental Impact Assessment scoping opinion on a request, validated on 7 August 2026, for a proposed 100,000 sq m GEA data centre with ancillary offices, internal plant and substations, alongside up to 10,000 sq m GEA of mixed employment and community space, on land adjacent to and including the former Stone Foundries, 669A Woolwich Road and the VIP Industrial Estate, Charlton SE7. The scheme described has a data centre of up to 45 m AOD and retains the Stone Foundry building. This dated council record identifies the proposed data-centre development, supporting announced status as of 14 October 2026. A scoping opinion is neither a planning application nor a consent; no permission, site work or construction is asserted, and no applicant or operator is named. evidence

Derivation: coordinate_transform
Precision scope: Site point (British National Grid E 541116, N 178909) that the London Planning Datahub publishes for Royal Greenwich record 26/2370/EIA from the property the council links to it, UPRN 10010198846 (Plot A, VIP Trading Estate, Anchor and Hope Lane, SE7 7TE), converted to WGS84 with pyproj 3.7.1. It marks one property within the described scoping site, not the site centroid or boundary, which were not available.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The scoping site boundary was not obtained, so the point's position within the site is unknown; the site includes the Stone Foundries about 85-180 m to the east, and the proposed 100,000 sq m GEA development would extend a few hundred metres around the point.
Geometry evidence: 488741f7

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.
