Two new planning applications have been submitted for hyperscale AI data centres, one in Greenock and one in Chapelhall, Airdrie, and neither is being required to do an Environmental Impacct Assessment (EIA).
This is an urgent situation. Please email your MSPs and ask them to request that the Minister for Public Finance make an EIA screening direction for the two data centres to ensure they get an Environmental Impact Assessment and to ask that the Scottish Government put in place measures to require all hyperscale data centres to have an EIA.
THANK YOU!.
