Scottish police expect ‘great deal of public opposition’ to planned Larbert datacentre

Planning consultation told ‘robust security measures’ will be needed amid growing resistance to such developments

Scottish police have warned that a proposed datacentre will require “robust security measures” to prevent “incursion” amid growing public resistance to such developments in Scotland.

“A great deal of public opposition is likely” to a datacentre planned in Larbert, about 30 miles west of Edinburgh, the Scottish police have said in a letter submitted as a part of a planning consultation earlier this month.
