	"description": "Angela Rayner, controversially overruled a local council to approve a hyperscale datacentre on green belt land. No environmental impact assessment was done. This is part of the Labour government’s unregulated push to make the UK into an AI powerhouse. The energy industry has estimated the rapid adoption of AI could mean datacentres will account for a 10th of electricity demand in Great Britain by 2050, five to 10 times more than today. Data Centres were officially designated as Critical National Infrastructure giving ministers planning veto power to override local concerns. Huge data centres are being built on our green belt land without proper legislation or environmental protections. These developments threaten local ecosystems, put our water supplies at risk, drive up electricity costs for households, and pave the way for unchecked industrialisation of our countryside. This is a national problem: the UK urgently needs clear rules to regulate data centre expansion before it’s too late. www.datadecarb.co.uk",
