A major extension is planned for Elsham Wolds Industrial Estate.
If approved, the development would create a new data centre, bringing hundreds of new jobs, investment in the local community, and a boost to business confidence.
The application sets out proposals for a large-scale development comprising data centres, office space, energy infrastructure, and other supporting facilities across a phased development.
The total investment in the site could reach between £5.5 billion and £7.5 billion over the course of the development.
During construction, the scheme could support up to 5,100 jobs each year. Once fully operational, the site has the potential to create up to 1,200 highly skilled jobs.
Funding towards apprenticeship and training programmes is also being proposed.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is another positive sign of confidence in our economy and in North Lincolnshire as a place to do business.
“We welcome the application and the potential this development has to create high-quality jobs for local people. Supporting growth in our area helps to attract new businesses while giving existing ones the opportunity to expand.
“It’s further evidence that the work we are doing to enable growth and create the conditions for private investment is delivering real results and better paid jobs for our communities.”
