How it works

From a postcode to a plan of action in three steps.

1

Search your location

Type a postcode or address, or share your location. We map every known data center and live planning application around you.

2

Read the likelihood

A color-coded estimate weighs nearby facilities, recent planning activity, industrial zoning, and grid & fiber proximity.

3

Know how to act

Plain-English guides explain consultations, deadlines, and how to make your voice heard in the local planning process.

Reading the score

A clear, honest signal — never a prediction.

The likelihood score is an informational estimate built from public data. It summarizes development pressure in an area; it does not forecast any specific project.

Very Low

Little development pressure and no relevant planning activity nearby.

Low

Limited signals — worth a periodic check, but nothing imminent.

Moderate

Some indicators present, such as zoning or grid infrastructure.

High

Multiple signals align, including recent applications nearby.

Very High

Strong, converging signals and active development in the area.
