The data centre at Stockley Park Campus is connected to the local electricity transmission network via multiple grid connections; however, given the nature of data centres and their requirement to have an available energy supply at all times, the site (once complete) will incorporate up to 72 diesel-fired standby generators across 4 separate buildings. These are referred to as London 5, London 6, London 7 and London 8 and will be operated independently but will all be grouped together in a single data centre campus under the same management system and management structure. The generators will provide power to the site in the event of an emergency situation such as a failure of the electricity transmission network. During such events there is a potential for a delay between fault detection and initial operation of these back-up generators; hence the initial uninterruptible power supply is provided by on-site battery arrays in order to cover this ‘time gap’ and the consequent loss or reduction in the power supply to the data servers. The rated generation capacity of the proposed generators is 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4MWe each with a thermal input of 5.71, 6.29, or 6.86MWth respectively (based on Agency calculation method). The total rated thermal input (under standby power operating conditions) of all generators across Stockley Park Campus will be 443.43MWth on completion (based on current design which may vary through the tender process). The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 (as amended) (EPR) states: “…where two or more appliances with an aggregate rated thermal input of 50 or more megawatts are operated on the same site by the same operator, those appliances must be treated as a single appliance with a rated thermal input of 50 or more megawatts.” The site is therefore considered to be an “installation” as defined in Paragraph 1, Part 1, Schedule 1 of the EPR as: “a stationary technical unit where one or more activities are carried on”. The “activities” that are proposed at the installation are defined in Chapter 1, Schedule 1 of the EPR, under Section 1.1, Combustion Activities. This document is therefore submitted on behalf of the Operator to support the application for a new bespoke Environmental Permit for the site, as per the requirements of Section 2(1), Part 1, Schedule 5 of the EPR. It describes the operating techniques that will be implemented at the facility with respect to the diesel generators to ensure that environmental aspects are managed in compliance with the conditions of the Environmental Permit and in line with Best Available Techniques (BAT) requirements. For the purposes of this application, relevant technical standards in the following documents have been referenced: ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT APPLICATION PUBLIC | WSP Project No.: 70051165 | Our Ref No.: 70051165/Lon5-8/001 February 2020 Virtus HoldCo Ltd Page 1 of 32 ¡ GOV.UK Develop a management system: environmental permits guidance, 14 January 2019; ¡ GOV.UK Risk assessments for your environmental permit guidance, 10 January 2019; ¡ Data Centre FAQ Headline Approach, dated 01/06/18 and 11/01/2019; ¡ Best Available Techniques (BAT) Reference Document for Large Combustion Plants, 2017 and the associated BAT Conclusions (Establishing Best Available Techniques (BAT) Conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for Large Combustion Plants, 31 July 2017); ¡ How To Comply With Your Environmental Permit Additional Guidance for Combustion Activities (EPR 1.01), 2014 (withdrawn).

ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT APPLICATION PUBLIC | WSP Project No.: 70051165 | Our Ref No.: 70051165/Lon5-8/001 February 2020 Virtus HoldCo Ltd Page 3 of 32 3 FORM B2 SUPPORTING INFORMATION 3.1 PRE-APPLICATION DISCUSSIONS Discussions were held between the Operator and Howard Tee and Guy Elliot of the Environment Agency (EA) on 11th July 2018 to outline the EA’s approach to permitting datacentres and to understand Virtus’ operations and obligations in relation to the EPR, followed up by e-mail on 12th July. A simple pre-application submission was made on-line using the Environment Agency web service, reference number EA/EPR/AP3903PD/A001 in January 2019. A further telephone conversation was held between WSP and Guy Elliot in April 2019 to clarify the general approach. In summary the approach adopted is: ¡ The Environmental Permit application will focus on the standby generators and associated routine activities (engine testing) and not the operation of other datacentre-related activities; ¡ The permit is required for the routine generator testing regime and associated emissions, however the air emissions dispersion modelling assessment submitted with this application will also include emergency operational periods; ¡ There may be a need for an air quality emergency action plan in conjunction with the Local Authority due to the location of the facility and the number of generators; and ¡ Noise impacts could also require a similar emergency action plan with the Local Authority depending on the outcome of the noise assessment. ¡ Best available techniques (BAT) for the generator engine planned maintenance and testing protocol is to minimise emissions at the worst times (limits on the test periods are enforced via planning consent conditions to ensure they are planned outside rush hour peaks). The maximum hours per generator should be logged and reported to be less than 50 hours per year to stay exempt from the Medium Combustion Plant specified generator requirements; ¡ Fuel delivery and storage will be considered in the BAT assessment; ¡ Details of reliability of the grid and connection philosophy etc. is required in the permit application as justification of the unlikely need for the standby role and peak impacts; ¡ A biodiversity pre-application screening assessment was included in the pre-app response; and ¡ The charge for the application was included in the pre-application response. The application comprises the following elements: ¡ Application forms (Parts A, B2, B3 and F1) ¡ Non-technical Summary ¡ Operating Techniques ¡ Environmental Risk Assessment ¡ Air Emissions Impact Assessment ¡ Noise Impact Assessment ¡ BAT discussions ¡ Site Condition Report ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT APPLICATION PUBLIC | WSP Project No.: 70051165 | Our Ref No.: 70051165/Lon5-8/001 February 2020 Virtus HoldCo Ltd Page 4 of 32 3.2 ABOUT THE SITE The address of the site is: Virtus Data Centres Stockley Park campus Prologis Park West London, off Horton Road, London UB11 1HB OS national grid reference: TQ 07290 80155 Final planning permission for London 8 (the fourth unit currently under development which will be the final to be completed) was received in October 2019, reference 37977/APP/2019/1453.

  • Community Mirror a Data-Driven Method for ‘Below the Radar’ Research
    Nesta Working Paper No. 15/07 Community Mirror A Data-Driven Method for ‘Below the Radar’ Research Gaia Marcus, RSA Jimmy Tidey, Royal College of Art Community Mirror A Data-Driven Method for ‘Below the Radar’ Research Gaia Marcus Jimmy Tidey RSA Royal College of Art Nesta Working Paper 15/07 May 2015 www.nesta.org.uk/wp15-07 Abstract This report presents the findings of a study undertaken between June 2014 and November 2014 with the LocalNets.org project at the Royal College of Art (RCA), using the RSA’s existing on-the-ground research conducted for the London Borough of Hounslow. This collaborative research project, Community Mirror, was carried out to understand the ways in which online data-gathering techniques compared to door-to- door research in understanding how a local community works. The study concludes that digital methodologies do offer a promising approach to mapping the ‘below the radar’ social economy assets. There was a significant amount of overlap between the community assets mapped by the two different research approaches, with 31% of the community assets surfaced in the offline research also discovered by the LocalNets online app. Acknowledgements: This paper was prepared by Gaia Marcus to report on work undertaken while at the RSA. The relevant contact at the RSA is now Matthew Parsfield. Corresponding author: Gaia Marcus, c/o Matthew Parsfield, The RSA, John Adam Street, London WC2N 6EZ; [email protected]. The Nesta Working Paper Series is intended to make available early results of research undertaken or supported by Nesta and its partners in order to elicit comments and suggestions for revisions and to encourage discussion and further debate prior to publication (ISSN 2050-9820).

  • London LOOP Section 11 Hayes and Harlington to Uxbridge
    V1 : July July 09 V1 : London LOOP Directions: Leave the station, and turn right down Station Road. Go Section 11 straight over the mini roundabout, cross the canal bridge then turn right at the end of the bridge into Western View. Take the steps on the right which Hayes and Harlington to Uxbridge lead down to the towpath of the Grand Union Canal and the London LOOP. Turn right at the bottom of the steps and go under the bridge. The picturesque Grand Union Canal links London to Birmingham, which supposedly has more canals than Venice! It’s the longest single canal in Britain stretching 135 miles. Start: Hayes & Harlington (TQ098795) Squeeze through the metal kissing gate, and keep following the towpath. Station: Hayes & Harlington Finish: Uxbridge (TQ051845) On the right is a traditional cast-iron milepost saying ‘Braunston 87 Miles.’ Station: Uxbridge The reason behind the mileposts was to tell approaching boaters the distances to the end of the canal and to assist in the collection of tolls. The Distance: 7.5 miles (12 km) G.J.C. on the mile post stands for the Grand Junction Canal, the original title of the ambitious 93 mile long canal approved by Act of Parliament in 1793 to link Braunston in Northamptonshire with Brentford in London. Introduction: A good section for enthusiasts of waterside walking, as over two-thirds follows canal, river or lake. After a few hundred yards there is another kissing gate. Go through and keep following the path under a modern brick bridge. This is an easy walk on mostly level ground with a few short climbs.

    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Hillingdon May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Hillingdon 1 1. Barra Hall Park 2.
