Truman's Brewery redevelopment
Tower Hamlets councillors rejected a data centre proposal for a site within the Truman's Brewery area in July 2025 due to design concerns.
In July 2025, Tower Hamlets councillors rejected a proposal by Truman Estates Ltd for a 5,200 square metre data centre on Grey Eagle Street, a site previously occupied by a derelict former brewery building. The Strategic Development Committee cited concerns over the design and its impact on the surrounding area, despite planning officers recommending approval for the demolition of existing buildings.
This proposal was distinct from the broader Truman's Brewery redevelopment project, which involves demolishing other existing structures and constructing five new buildings for residential, office, retail, food and beverage, community, and market spaces.
