Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask His Majesty's Government, in  light of their decision to approve the Truman Brewery redevelopment in Tower Hamlets, whether they plan to commission a health impact assessment of the proposed data centre, specifically in relation to (1) residents’ wellbeing, (2), its impact on child health, (3) potential hindrance to water supply or water quality, and (3) the impact on families of any associated rising cost of energy provision.

The decision letter and associated Inspector’s Report fully explains the reasons for the decision and is available on the Government’s website here (and attached). The letter and associated Inspector’s Report should be read in their entirety.

Following the decision, Ministers have no further role in this matter.
