A large-scale data centre project has been proposed for development near Elsham Wolds Industrial Estate in North Lincolnshire, marking the region’s second major tech infrastructure initiative.
The proposal, currently at the pre-application stage with North Lincolnshire Council, outlines a site covering approximately 180 hectares south and east of the existing industrial estate. If fully developed, the project could generate up to 1,000 jobs over a ten-year construction period.
This follows the approval last year of the £2.2 billion Humber Tech Park near South Killingholme, expected to create nearly 400 jobs and position the area as a hub for artificial intelligence and digital services.
The Elsham Wolds development is still in the early planning stages, with no formal planning permission application submitted yet. However, its scale and job creation potential suggest a significant opportunity for businesses involved in infrastructure, construction, and technology sectors across the UK.
