Global Technical Realty (GTR)
GB Two, Ealing
Overview
Quod secured planning permission for the redevelopment of the International Trading Estate in Ealing on behalf of Global Technical Realty. The scheme will transform one of West London’s largest industrial estates into a new data centre and industrial-led campus, delivering four data centre units (256MW IT load), five flexible industrial buildings, and a range of significant placemaking and public realm improvements.
Details
Quod led an extensive pre-application and post-submission negotiation process, engaging closely with Ealing Council, the GLA, local residents, and the Canal & River Trust.
OUR ROLE
Quod provided multidisciplinary planning advice throughout the project, including local plan representation, planning application coordination, Environmental Impact Assessment preparation, Community Infrastructure Levy strategy, socio-economic consultancy, and Section 106 negotiations.
The scheme represents the first hyperscale data centre development in Ealing and required a comprehensive programme of pre-application engagement and post-submission negotiation to demonstrate the benefits of delivering critical national infrastructure.
Approved in December 2025, the development will regenerate one of West London’s largest industrial estates, delivering four data centre units (256MW IT load; 158,702 sqm GEA), five flexible industrial buildings (23,389 sqm GEA), a central pavilion building, enhanced green infrastructure, and improved access to the Grand Union Canal.
