A posting on NextDoor:-

from an article in the Economist MAY 24th
The GLA wrote to the person in charge of planning and economic development in the borough of Ealing – who is this? Lucy Taylor? The letter, entitled "Electricity Capacity in west London", noted that housing developers were facing delays in connecting new homes to the grid, and that electricity would not be available to them until between 2027 and 2030. New battery-storage systems and data centres had already gobbled up capacity

A boom in data-centre construction has affected west London particularly badly. This area is only a small part of a regional grid that covers a swathe of southern England, but it has received 90% of all applications to connect data centres to that grid in the past two years. The amount of electricity these new facilities require is very roughly the same as west London's entire existing capacity. 

Should companies wanting to install Data Centres go first to the National Grid, for guidance before going down the planning route? Or should a planning authority inform the National Grid on receiving planning applications for large developments or data centres. Perhaps this already happens, but if so, something has gone badly wrong somewhere.

Where do Data Centres sit in the Local Plan?  - Did Data Centres exist in 2012 when Ealing’s Local Plan was written?

What about other services, South Acton Estate aka Acton Gardens has been experiencing water and water pressure problems for some time, do other areas of high development – Southall – North Acton have similar problems?

What provisions have been made for increasing sewerage and drain capacity in the Edwardian streets, where the two bathroom, one washing machine homes have been carved up into 5 or 7 flats, some with two bathrooms per flat and each flat with a washing machine? Should there be a maximum number of conversions per street to allow the Edwardian pipework cope? 

And then there is access to reliable fast Broadband?

None of this appears to have been discussed at Local Plan meetings?
