Greystoke submits plan for Elsham Tech Park

Greystoke has submitted a planning application for Elsham Tech Park, a landmark £10 billion AI data centre campus in North Lincolnshire. It will help meet a critical UK need for AI data centre infrastructure.

Construction of ETP is expected to begin in 2027, with the first phase of the campus set to open in 2029. Up to 900 full-time operational jobs will be created by the time it is complete, with average salaries of more than £50,000.

Local businesses in North Lincolnshire and the broader region will be given priority to tender for supply chain opportunities. For example, the development will require over 100,000 tonnes of steel to construct the site, with British Steel’s site at Scunthorpe ideally placed to supply this.

Substantial funds will be set aside to support local education and skills programmes. These will provide digital skills and training for people in the region, helping them to prepare for jobs at the campus and in the technology industry.

The plans include improvements to nearby roads and transport links, together with new amenity buildings, which could include a creche, gym or canteen. There will be a significant  improvement to biodiversity.

North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area is already a leader in green power technologies. Substantial investment from tech companies in Elsham Tech Park, and the Northern Lincolnshire AI Growth Zone more broadly, will drive further substantial improvements in green energy provision.
