Google: North Weald Airfield

Year Planned: 2027
Lot Size: 52 acres

Epping Forest District Council has granted planning permission for Google’s new data center campus at North Weald Airfield, moving the project forward despite local objections.

Google paid a£88.2 million for 52 acres (21 hectares) of land at a former RAF airbase. Epping Forest District Council announced the sale of part of North Weald Airfield in Essex in late January 2024 to create a data centre campus.

  • The North Weald site is the second package of land Google has acquired in the county. In November 2023 it was revealed that the company had bought a 129-acre plot in Purfleet, which was formerly the Arena Essex Raceway, a stock car and speedway racing track.
