Derivation: coordinate_transform
Precision scope: Grid reference (British National Grid E 621669, N 304466) that South Norfolk Council publishes for application 2026/2957 in its weekly list of validated applications, converted to WGS84 with pyproj 3.7.1. It is the council's map point for the application site, not a red-line boundary, building footprint or surveyed position.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The council does not state how the grid reference was placed or which part of the site it marks, and the application boundary was not obtained; the proposed data centre, substations and parking are likely to extend a few hundred metres around the point within the fields west of Ipswich Road.
Geometry evidence: 2194592c

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.
