London's green belt: 'Sacrificing a small amount is worth it'

A plan to build Europe's largest cloud and AI data centre is being met with local opposition.

The team behind DC01UK says the centre in Hertfordshire could create almost 14,000 indirect jobs.

The decision means local elections in Hertfordshire will go ahead as planned in May.

The proposal for Hertfordshire could result in jobs for about 175 people, councillors are told.

A minister says the development may harm the landscape, including a nearby castle.

It can now build many different structures on sets without needing to seek planning permission.

Fears raised over the impact on high streets as a Hertfordshire council puts up parking fees.

Councillors hope the change will encourage more uptake across women's sport.

Councillors say they will charge people a £50 subscription fee next year instead.
