Pure Data Centres has shelved plans to build a site in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire despite planning permission being granted last year by the local authority for the project at Panattoni Park. A spokesperson for Panattoni, which owns the land on Elstree Way, where the data centre was to be built, said the deal with Pure did not complete. The plans, approved by Hertsmere Borough Council, would have seen a three-storey data centre constructed on the site of the former Sainsbury’s frozen food depot. Instead, the site will be home to logistics facilities including the 159,000 square foot warehouse that has already been completed and is available for occupation.
